Using the Google Home app, you can simply ask the assistant to cast content to one or more devices, such as a Smart Phone or Samsung TV. The display on your Smart Phone will reflect on your Samsung TV, and vice versa. Another method is to download YouTube TV from the Apple App Store or Google Play Store. To watch YouTube on your Smart TV, you&#8217;ll first need to sign in to your Google account. Once you&#8217;ve done that, you can choose which content to view on your TV.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"YouTube_TV\"><\/span>YouTube TV<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>YouTube TV offers live TV, on demand videos, and a cloud-based DVR for streaming your favorite shows and movies. More than 85 network channels are available, including The CW, the Big Three broadcast networks, and PBS in most markets. It is also available in many languages, including Spanish, and is priced fairly affordably at less than $20 a month. This is a great deal for those who don&#8217;t want to download multiple apps and deal with the downloads.<\/p>\n<p>The main menu of YouTube TV contains three tabs: library, home, and search. The library tab allows you to organize the content you&#8217;ve watched by recentness, genre, or popularity. The home tab lets you discover new content and watch favorites. It displays the most popular content, as well as recommendations based on your searches. You can also view the list of categories you&#8217;ve watched before to find your favorite shows and movies. After logging in, you can search, browse, and download videos, or view the latest content.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Signing_in\"><\/span>Signing in<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you&#8217;re having trouble signing in to watch YouTube on your smart TV, you may have entered incorrect login information. To remedy this problem, sign in to YouTube from a different device and try again. It may be that you have entered the wrong password or the wrong account name. If this is the case, you may need to change your password on your smart TV&#8217;s Internet connection or on your smartphone. Here&#8217;s how to sign in to YouTube on your smart TV.<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re using a phone to sign in to YouTube, you&#8217;ll need to install the YouTube app for your phone. Download the app from the app store. You can also sign in via a web browser, which is more convenient. The phone option will require that you use the same Wi-Fi network as your smart TV, so make sure to connect the two. Once you&#8217;ve done this, you can sign in to YouTube on your smart TV.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Adding_content_to_your_queue\"><\/span>Adding content to your queue<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Adding content to your queue is similar to saving a movie to watch later. But unlike that option, you can only add a single video to your queue at a time. Instead, you can create several and watch them in order. When you&#8217;re finished watching one video, click on &#8220;Add to queue&#8221; to put it in a later time. Once you have finished watching all the videos in your queue, you can easily remove them.<\/p>\n<p>When you&#8217;re ready to watch YouTube videos on your TV, just click on &#8220;Add to queue&#8221;. Then, choose &#8220;Add to play next&#8221; and the video will be added to your queue. The queue will be labeled with a list of the videos you&#8217;ve added. And when you&#8217;re ready to watch them again, just select &#8220;Remove from queue.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Using_the_Fire_TV_remote\"><\/span>Using the Fire TV remote<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you&#8217;re looking for a simple way to watch YouTube on a smart TV, the FireTV remote is the perfect tool. You can use this remote to select videos in the YouTube app, as well as control volume and the picture quality. To set up a Fire TV remote for YouTube, you need to pair the Fire TV remote with your smart TV and go to the Settings menu. After pairing, you&#8217;ll need to choose the YouTube app, and then follow the instructions.<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re using an Amazon Fire TV, you need to make sure you have a USB cable and a Fire Stick. Then, plug in your remote. Follow the instructions on your smart TV to pair the device. Next, press the Enter button on your remote. The Fire TV will start running through the setup process, and may display an error message that says that the Fire TV remote is an unsupported USB device. If you&#8217;re experiencing performance problems, you can bypass this error message.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Using_the_cloud_DVR\"><\/span>Using the cloud DVR<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you&#8217;ve been looking for a solution to your DVR woes, YouTube TV has a solution. Its Cloud DVR service takes advantage of the company&#8217;s vast online storage facilities to give you unlimited storage space and the ability to record programs in real-time. The catch is that you will have to pay for the service and any additional storage space. If you don&#8217;t mind paying a bit more to watch all your favorite shows and movies, you&#8217;ll love using the cloud DVR to watch YouTube TV.<\/p>\n<p>For $35 per month, you can get a membership to YouTube TV, which gives you access to 40+ networks and an unlimited cloud DVR. Unlike other streaming services, YouTube TV also offers unlimited cloud DVR storage, so you can record as many shows as you like. You can store up to nine months&#8217; worth of recordings. You can also have up to six accounts for different streaming services, and there are no limits on the number of channels you can watch.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How to Watch YouTube on a Smart TV There are many ways to watch YouTube on a Smart TV.
