To troubleshoot your connection, check all cables to make sure they are all properly plugged in, including the power cord, HDMI cables, and Ethernet cables. If they&#8217;re not plugged in securely, try plugging your TV directly into your modem to see if that helps.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Resetting_your_TV_to_connect_to_YouTube\"><\/span>Resetting your TV to connect to YouTube<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you can&#8217;t get the YouTube app to work on your Smart TV, you may have to reset your TV. This can be done by connecting it to a WiFi connection and selecting the app on your Smart TV. Once your Smart TV has completed the reset, you can try to re-download the app. However, if you still have trouble connecting to YouTube, you can try deleting and re-downloading the app.<\/p>\n<p>Resetting your Smart TV will allow you to re-install the app. During this process, you will need to enter the reset pin which is 0000. After entering the reset pin, you can follow the on-screen instructions to reboot your Smart TV. Once the reboot is complete, check to see if the issue still persists. To check if this fix worked, you can go to the &#8220;Settings&#8221; or &#8220;Apps&#8221; menu on your Smart TV and select the &#8220;Youtube&#8221; app. Once this is complete, you should be able to access YouTube.<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re having trouble connecting to YouTube on your Samsung Smart TV, it&#8217;s possible that your TV needs to be updated with the latest software. If this solution doesn&#8217;t work, you can always reset your Smart Hub to remove any traces of previous login information. If you can&#8217;t figure out the Samsung Account PIN, contact Samsung Account Support. You can then restart your Smart TV to connect to YouTube.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Adding_a_mobile_device_as_a_remote_control_for_YouTube\"><\/span>Adding a mobile device as a remote control for YouTube<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Adding a mobile device as a YouTube remote control is possible for many devices, including TVs and game consoles. This way, you can easily watch YouTube content right in your living room. However, a mobile device remote does have some limitations. It cannot control television shows outside of YouTube. As a result, it does not replace a traditional remote control completely. Moreover, using a mobile device as a remote control will mean that you do not have to go through the trouble of typing the content you want to watch.<\/p>\n<p>To use your Android or iPhone as a YouTube remote control, you must first install a special app for it. You can use this app to control playback and volume on your computer. You can also use this app to control volume on your TV. This way, you won&#8217;t have to go to the computer every three minutes to control the video on your TV. However, you must keep in mind that this app is not free.<\/p>\n<p>When you connect your mobile device to the Chromecast, it will automatically activate a built-in remote for your YouTube experience. It includes a D-Pad, back button, voice search, and volume slider. Once connected, you can easily use the remote by pressing the Cast icon in the top bar. The new YouTube app only appears on the Chromecast Ultra, and older models aren&#8217;t compatible. The new remote allows lean-back browsing with YouTube, and users without a Premium subscription will have to deal with more advertisements.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Removing_the_YouTube_app_from_your_Samsung_TV\"><\/span>Removing the YouTube app from your Samsung TV<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Removing the YouTube app from your Smart TV may sound like a simple task, but there are some steps you need to take to ensure your Samsung TV runs YouTube properly. In some cases, the YouTube app is not running on your television because the software is not compatible with your device. You may be able to solve the problem by downloading an app that works on your Samsung TV and reinstalling it. To do so, follow the steps below:<\/p>\n<p>Firstly, make sure you have updated your Samsung TV&#8217;s software. You may have downloaded the YouTube application, but now you can&#8217;t find it. If this is the case, you can re-download it from the Samsung app center. If the app still isn&#8217;t available, try using the screencasting option to screencast it on your TV. You may want to check your manual to see which specific models support YouTube.<\/p>\n<p>If the YouTube app doesn&#8217;t launch or goes to a grey screen, you can try relaunching it from the Smart HUB. To do this, unplug your Samsung Smart TV from the power outlet. Once you&#8217;re done, press the power button for about 30 seconds and then plug it back in. This should solve the problem. If the problem persists, try updating the app to the latest version.<\/p>\n<p> <iframe frameborder=\"0\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/KRA9U1TT-To\" height=\"282\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" width=\"504\" style=\"margin:0px auto; display: block;\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How Do I Connect My Smart TV to YouTube?
