Hello Opera GX Team,I would like to request that YouTube Music be made available as a native option inside the GX Player sidebar component for users located outside of the United States.Currently, the Player feature only shows YouTube Music for specific regions (like the USA). While I can add it manually as a custom sidebar site panel, this workaround lacks the core functionality of the GX Player. Specifically, custom sidebar panels do not support the automatic pause/play feature that mutes the music when another video or game audio plays in the browser.Please consider expanding the geo-availability of YouTube Music within the native GX Player integration so international users can enjoy seamless audio management.Thank you!

@Metanoru I agree. This feature should be available for users in all regions.

While Opera is fully closed (no opera.exe processes running in the Windows task manager), you can edit the "C:\Users\yourusername\AppData\Roaming\Opera Software\Opera Stable\Local State" file with a text editor (or JSONedit in tree mode) and change the country and country_from_server values to US. That usually works, but no guarantees.

@burnout426 It may help for now, but I still hope Opera officially enables YouTube Music in GX Player for all regions so everyone can use the built-in features without editing browser files.
