Now it is possible to view all your favorite YouTube video within your desktop without opening any browser.

The Google Desktop team has released a YouTube gadget for Google Desktop. Once installed, you’ll be able to bring up the gadget in an instant and search for videos (by pressing the shift key twice to bring up all your hidden Desktop gadgets). The videos will play directly inside the gadget, which also shows a feed of the day’s most popular clips.

The gadget works on Linux and Windows.
