The YouTube Trending Now screensaver ranks real trending videos for a chosen region by real view count. It is free, runs in your browser, and ESC exits.
How the YouTube Trending Now screensaver works
The saver reads YouTube's own real trending chart for a region from the YouTube Data API.
Each entry shows a real video title, channel and real view count.
The pipeline refreshes the board on its own schedule.
A free Google Cloud API key is required for this endpoint.

A real video with millions of real views sits at the top of the board, exactly matching YouTube's own trending chart.
