Non-game apps in Game Launcher

[vidiot]

I recently decided to move to Samsung from OnePlus and am currently using the S21 FE 5g. Over the past few days, I have been exploring OneUI and it has been incredible so far!

I am absolutely loving it!

One issue I'm facing though is that I am not able to add certain apps to the Game Launcher - in particular, YouTube. 

I always used to block notifications and and any sort of disturbances while watching YouTube videos on my previous OnePlus phone.

I am a heavy consumer of content on YouTube and spend a lot of time on the app. I would love to have a seamless, disturbance-free experience. 

As of now, a work-around I've found is muting the notifications volume every time I am on YouTube - kinda cumbersome, but it's all I could do. The pop-ups of a notification don't really seem to bother me as they don't take up much screen real-estate and also give me the flexibility to attend to them if they're important.

So if there's any way to add YouTube to the Game Launcher, I would be able to block notifications while the app is in use.

Also, I'm unable to add Instagram to the pop-up panel in the Game Booster. This isn't as important, but would still help.

If anyone could help me out with any of these, I would be very grateful!

Looking forward to the OneUI experience.

Thanks everyone!

There's an amazing way to do this within modes and routines, you can create a routine that turns on do not disturb or mute ringing as long as an app (such as YouTube) is running.
