watchOS and Apple Watch Apps

Hello Friends, I recently got myself an Apple watch SE 2nd Gen running Watch OS 9.1, while playing songs on youtube music through my watch it plays on my I-Phone speaker. Bluetooth headset is connected to the watch but still it goes to my phone. Through airplay and now playing screen I tried changing the output device but not getting my bluetooth headset there. Please note, Apples own Music app properly plays through the bluetooth headset which is connected to my watch. Is anyone facing same issue? my watch and phone are running latest software. Please guide

Guys, I did some reading on-line and learnt that this behaviour is not an issue but a limited feature provided by Youtube Music. Presently YT Music app on Watch simply works as a controller interface to your i-phone. It means you cant play music only using your Watch, you need to have an i-phone. I hope Google will provide some updates in future and this YT Music app will work stand alone on our Apple Watch.
