Instead of trying to use the YouTube TV directly from Roku or through the YouTube app, you can instead try casting it from the phone as a Redditor has suggested:.
I found a workaround. Hopefully, Google and Roku will pull their socks up and sort this mess out as soon as possible. We recommend updating the firmware of your Roku if available and restarting it. Meanwhile, we also stumbled upon a response from Roku Support on Twitter wherein the company is advising against removing the app. Note that you should not remove the channel if its already installed and if you plan to use it.
New installations and reinstallations will not be possible at this time Source. Google is attempting to use its YouTube monopoly position to force Roku into accepting predatory, anti-competitive and discriminatory terms that will directly harm Roku and our users. We have been working with Roku in good faith to reach an agreement that benefits our viewers and their customers. Unfortunately, Roku often engages in these types of tactics in their negotiations. All of our work with them has been focused on ensuring a high quality and consistent experience for our viewers.
We have made no requests to access user data or interfere with search results. We hope we can resolve this for the sake of our mutual users. In the meantime, we recommend sharing this via our feedback tool using the link we previously shared so they can collect and investigate the issue. Appreciate your patience. YouTube support is suggesting users to ensure their Roku device is running the latest firmware.
Also, restarting the device can help fix this issue. Hope that does the trick. The workaround involves deleting the YouTube app then adding it back. So, be sure to give it a try and let us know if it works by dropping a comment below. I had to delete YouTube and add it back- It works now happily- Source.
Reinstalling the app is often a troubleshooting step, which if followed by YouTube users facing issues on Roku will not let them install the app again.
The information came from the YouTube team on Twitter. The only way to access it is through the YouTube main. You can follow these easy steps: 1. Open the YouTube app on your Roku drive 2. Contrary to YouTube support, a Roku employee are suggesting the complainants to try the basic troubleshooting step which invloves deleting the channel, then updating Roku, and then adding the channel again.
While the issue is being looked into as we mentioned earlier , YouTube support is now suggesting the affected users to try the troubleshooting steps listed here. So you can give this workaround a try.
But not all will be getting the free subscription. One other thing: You will want to keep your device on and connected to the same Wi-Fi network to make sure the stream doesn't cut out. If you have an Android phone, you can cast from it using screen mirroring. Available on Rokus for years, this feature has been found on most Android phones for a while with the exception of Google Pixels, which don't support it and brings your phone's screen onto the TV.
Most Roku TVs and streamers support the feature. Enabling this feature, however, is a bit complicated, as different phone-makers have given it different names. Samsung, for example, calls it Smart View on its latest Galaxy phones, and it can often be accessed by pulling down on the notification shade. Once you find the name, it's pretty easy to set up.
I then saw a prompt on my Roku, clicked allow, and I was good to go. If you don't see the Roku in the screen mirror list and you're on the same Wi-Fi network, make sure screen mirroring is enabled. Select Streaming Channels on the Roku menu.
You'll find the Roku navigation menu on the left-hand side of the home screen. Use your Roku remote to go down on the home menu, and press OK to select this option. This will open the Channel Store. If you don't see the menu, press the left button on your Roku remote on the Rocky Home Screen or the shortcut tile.
This will show the menu on the left. Select the Top Free option on the Channel Store menu. This will show a list of the most popular free apps and channels available. YouTube is usually one of the top results in this category. Alternatively, you can select the Search Channels option, and search "YouTube" here. If you have a paid subscription to YouTube's premium, cable-free live TV service, you can also search and add this channel to watch live broadcasts.
Select the "YouTube" channel in the Channel Store. Use the arrow keys on your Roku remote to select YouTube in the results, and press OK to open the channel details.
Select Add channel in the channel details. Add the channel. When the channel has been finished adding to your Roku, click OK and select Go to channel on the details page. Once the YouTube channel is added, you'll see this option on the details page.
Select a YouTube video to watch it. YouTube isn't an administrative application. You'll have to download it yourself from the app store. Not Helpful 4 Helpful Times Internet Limited.
