Highlights
You can watch YouTube on your TV by using the YouTube app directly on your smart TV or streaming device. Most smart TVs have the app pre-installed, or you can download it from your device's application store.
It's important to differentiate between the YouTube app (ad-supported) and the YouTube TV app (a paid live TV streaming service). Ensure you download the correct app for your desired viewing experience.
Another method is to cast YouTube from your phone, tablet, or computer to your TV. Ensure both devices are on the same Wi-Fi network. Open a video in the YouTube app on mobile or use the cast option in a Chrome browser, then select your TV from the list.
Once the video is playing on your TV, you can control the experience using your TV remote, computer, or mobile device.
