How to sign in to YouTube on your TV

Sign in or out of the YouTube app
You can sign in to the YouTube app on your smart TV, streaming device or game console. You can also sign out of the app or remove an account from the app.
Switch between accounts
In the YouTube app on your TV, you can sign in to multiple accounts and easily switch between these accounts.
Members of your household can add their own accounts and guests can sign in to a guest account. Guest accounts allow you to use YouTube on your TV while signed out and any content that you watch while signed out won't affect your signed-in account's recommendations.
