Log out of YouTube TV on your phone or tablet

On an Android or iPhone, open the YouTube TV app and tap your profile picture in the top right corner. A menu will drop down with your account name and email. Tap Sign out at the bottom of that menu. The app will return to the sign-in screen, and your account data will be removed from the device.

If you cannot find your profile picture, check whether you are already signed out — the app shows a Sign in button instead when no account is active. If the app is frozen or not responding, close it completely (swipe it away from your recent apps list on Android, or swipe up from the bottom on iPhone), then reopen it and try again.

Log out on a web browser or computer

Go to youtube.tv in your browser and look for your profile picture in the top right corner of the page. Click it to open a dropdown menu. Select Sign out from the list. Your browser will clear the YouTube TV session, and you will see the sign-in page the next time you visit.

If you are using a shared computer, signing out removes your account from that browser only — other browsers on the same computer will still show you as signed in. To sign out everywhere at once, use the account sign-out method described in the "Remove YouTube TV from all devices at once" section below.

Log out on a smart TV or streaming device

On Roku, Apple TV, Fire TV, Chromecast, or Samsung TV, open the YouTube TV app and navigate to your profile or settings. The exact path varies by device: on Roku, go to the menu and select your account; on Apple TV, scroll to the top and select your profile; on Fire TV, press the menu button and find account settings.

Once you find your account section, look for a Sign out or Logout option. Select it, and the app will return to the sign-in screen. You may be asked to confirm the sign-out. After you sign out, anyone using that TV will need to sign in with their own account to watch YouTube TV.

Remove YouTube TV from all devices at once

If you want to sign out of YouTube TV on every device where you are currently logged in, go to myaccount.google.com in a web browser. This is your Google Account page, not YouTube TV itself. Click Security in the left menu, then scroll down to find Your devices or Manage all devices.

You will see a list of devices where you are signed into Google services, including YouTube TV. Click on any device and select Sign out or Remove. This will sign you out of that device when ready. Repeat for each device you want to remove. The next time someone tries to use YouTube TV on that device, they will need to sign in again.

Key Takeaways

  • On phones and tablets, tap your profile picture in the YouTube TV app and select Sign out from the menu.
  • On a web browser, click your profile picture at youtube.tv and choose Sign out from the dropdown.
  • On smart TVs and streaming devices, find your account in the app settings and select the sign-out option.
  • To sign out of all devices at once, go to myaccount.google.com, click Security, find Your devices, and remove each one.
  • Signing out removes your account from that device only — other devices stay signed in unless you remove them separately.

What happens after you sign out

Once you sign out, YouTube TV will no longer play on that device. Your watch history, saved shows, and account settings remain stored on YouTube's servers and will reappear if you sign back in with the same Google account.

If you are signing out because you are selling or giving away a device, make sure to also remove the device from your Google Account (using the method in the "Remove YouTube TV from all devices at once" section). This prevents the new owner from accessing your account or watch history. You should also change your Google password if you are concerned about account security.

Troubleshooting sign-out problems

If the sign-out button does not appear or the app does not respond, try closing the app completely and reopening it. On phones, swipe the app away from your recent apps list. On smart TVs, exit the app and wait a few seconds before opening it again.

If you are still stuck, uninstall the YouTube TV app and reinstall it from your device's app store. This will remove all stored account data and return the app to its initial state. When you reopen it, you will see the sign-in screen. If you need to sign back in, you can do so with your Google account credentials.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will other people on my account lose access when I sign out?

No. Signing out removes your account from only that one device. Other people using YouTube TV on different devices will stay signed in to their own accounts. If you share a household account, signing out on your phone does not affect the TV in the living room.

Can I sign out of YouTube TV without signing out of Gmail or other Google services?

Yes. Signing out of the YouTube TV app or website signs you out of YouTube TV only. Your Gmail, Google Drive, and other Google services will remain signed in on that device. If you want to sign out of everything, you must do so from your main Google Account page at myaccount.google.com.

What if I forgot which devices I am signed into?

Go to myaccount.google.com and click Security, then Your devices. You will see every device where you are currently signed into Google services. The list shows the device type, location, and last time it was used, so you can identify which ones are yours.

Do I need to sign out before selling my device?

Yes. Before you sell or give away any device, sign out of your Google account and remove the device from your account page at myaccount.google.com. This prevents the new owner from accessing your email, watch history, and other personal data. You should also change your Google password as an extra precaution.
