YouTube is not included in the default set of parental controls that your television comes with. You can set parental controls for specific apps or the whole TV, but they don&#8217;t control YouTube. You&#8217;ll need to disable muted playback or change the settings on your browser. To fix this problem, follow the steps below:<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Disabling_the_muted_playback_feature\"><\/span>Disabling the muted playback feature<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>In YouTube for television, there&#8217;s a setting that allows you to turn off the muted playback feature. By default, YouTube videos are muted, meaning they play without sound. However, this feature can be disabled, and there are a few simple steps you can take to do so. These steps will help you disable the muted playback feature and keep your TV&#8217;s audio volume optimal.<\/p>\n<p>Launch the YouTube app and navigate to the Settings tab. Click on the &#8220;Previews with sound&#8221; option. You can turn this feature on or off, depending on your preferences. If you don&#8217;t want to use this option, you can always turn off muted playback in feeds. However, if you&#8217;re having trouble hearing what&#8217;s playing, turn off the option for muted playback on YouTube for television.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Using_a_YouTube_extension\"><\/span>Using a YouTube extension<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Using a YouTube extension to stop YouTube from playing on TV is an easy way to keep the videos you&#8217;ve already watched from clogging your TV&#8217;s screen. Instead of being interrupted by ads, YouTube automatically pauses your videos while you&#8217;re not watching them. This results in increased traffic to the website but no ad-revenue. But users find this annoyance frustrating. Unfortunately, there&#8217;s no way to turn off this feature through the settings, so you have to install an extension. And that extension only works on mobile devices.<\/p>\n<p>While YouTube&#8217;s autoplay feature is a great feature, it&#8217;s not ideal for those of us who need to watch a lot of videos at once. We don&#8217;t want to have to wait for a full video buffer to start playing before watching. And because most of us are video junkies, we don&#8217;t want auto-play to start playing our videos when the buffering process isn&#8217;t complete. Using a YouTube extension to stop YouTube playing on TV allows us to watch videos on our computers, and not just on our TV.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Disabling_updates_of_the_YouTube_application\"><\/span>Disabling updates of the YouTube application<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If YouTube is not working on your television, the first thing you need to do is check your device&#8217;s date and time settings. If the settings are incorrect, the YouTube application can&#8217;t synchronize with Google&#8217;s servers. In order to fix this problem, toggle on the options to Use location and Set time zone automatically. In the left-side menu, select Date &amp; time. Toggling on this option will enable YouTube to function correctly. You might also be experiencing network restrictions, which is common in libraries and schools. Some parents restrict the use of YouTube by restricting content for their children.<\/p>\n<p>Turning off the autoplay feature is another way to stop YouTube from playing on your television. This feature may be useful when you want to watch a series of videos, but it can be invasive if you no longer have the ability to select what you want to watch. To turn off YouTube autoplay on your TV, you can open the YouTube application. From the right-hand corner of the screen, tap the profile picture of YouTube. Click the settings icon to turn it off or enable it.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Disabling_DRM_settings_of_your_browser\"><\/span>Disabling DRM settings of your browser<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you are frustrated with YouTube playing on your TV, you might want to try disabling DRM settings in your browser. These are usually used to protect copyrights for digital content. By disabling these settings, you may be able to fix the autoplay issues that are plaguing your TV. To disable DRM settings on Firefox, click on the Options menu, and select Disable DRM. Try autoplay again, and you should see YouTube playing on your TV.<\/p>\n<p>Disabling DRM settings in your browser can also help you watch unauthorized content on your TV. Digital Rights Management (DRM) encrypts and protects content from unauthorized use. It also prevents you from screen recording content without authorization. Disabling DRM settings in your browser can prevent this problem from arising in the first place. While it may seem difficult to disable DRM settings in your browser, you can do so by following a few steps.<\/p>\n<p> <iframe width=\"461\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/TQkopq3mUZk\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"258\" style=\"margin:0px auto; display: block;\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How to Stop YouTube Playing on TV If you&#8217;re wondering how to stop YouTube playing on your television, there are some things that you can do.
