Select the YouTube app on the TV. This method will work if you have an Apple TV, a Smart TV with the YouTube app, as well as most TV streaming devices like the Amazon Fire Stick, Roku, and some other game consoles. Look for the white and red YouTube icon with a triangle on the TV’s app screen. When the app launches, the Sign In screen opens.

  • If you don’t have the app, you’ll need to download it from your TV’s app store. For example, if you have an Apple TV, you can download YouTube from the TV’s App Store (the blue “A” icon on the home screen).
  • If you want to watch with subtitles, you’ll need to enable it in your TV or streaming device’s settings. For example, with Apple TV, go to Settings > General > Accessibility > Subtitles and Captioning and select an option. [1] X Research Source

    Watch video. You can start, pause, and stop videos using YouTube on your computer.
  • Advice

    • Launch a web browser on your Smart TV and navigate to the official YouTube website if you don’t want to open the YouTube app. This method is suitable for those who do not want their Smart TV to be linked to their Google Account.
    • If you don’t have a game console or Smart TV and still want to watch YouTube on your TV, connect your computer to the TV with an HDMI cable. This allows you to watch YouTube videos on your TV using your computer’s web browser.

    Warning

    • Note: YouTube viewing isn’t completely free if you use the app or certain consoles. For example, the Nintendo Wii and Wii U support free YouTube viewing, while the Xbox 360 and Xbox One will require users to pay to subscribe to Microsoft’s Xbox Live Gpd plan. To watch YouTube videos with a gaming console, you’ll need to follow the on-screen instructions to sign up for a subscription that allows YouTube access.
