How to Sign Into YouTube on Your TV
Find your way around the app on 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 you watch while signed-out won't affect your signed-in account’s recommendations.
To switch on or to reset the parent code:
- Open the YouTube app on your smart TV.
- From the homepage, select Settings on the left.
- Select the Parent code tab.
- Follow the prompts to set up or to reset your 4-digit code.
When turned on, the parent code must be entered to:
- Watch YouTube as a signed out viewer
- Access accounts for older members of your household (over 13 years old, or applicable age in your country)

To remove the parent code:
