Log out of YouTube TV on phone, tablet, TV, and web

To log out of YouTube TV, open the app or website, go to your account settings, and select the sign-out option. The exact steps depend on what device you are using — a phone, tablet, smart TV, or computer — because each one has a different menu layout. You can also log out remotely from any device by visiting your Google Account security page and ending the session from there, which is faster if you have lost access to a device or want to sign out everywhere at once.

Logging out is important if you are sharing a device with someone else, selling or giving away hardware, or suspect someone else has accessed your account. YouTube TV is tied to your Google Account, so signing out of the app does not automatically sign you out of Gmail, YouTube, or other Google services on that same device — you need to handle each one separately if that matters to you.

Key Takeaways

  • On phones and tablets, open YouTube TV, tap your profile icon, and select "Sign out" from the menu.
  • On smart TVs and streaming devices, go to Settings, find your account or profile section, and choose the sign-out option.
  • On a web browser, click your profile picture in the top right corner and select "Sign out".
  • You can sign out of all devices at once by visiting myaccount.google.com, going to Security, and ending all other sessions under "Your devices".
  • Signing out of YouTube TV does not sign you out of other Google services like Gmail or YouTube on the same device.

How to sign out on iPhone and Android phones

Open the YouTube TV app and tap your profile icon in the top right corner of the screen. This opens a menu with several options. Scroll down until you see "Sign out" and tap it. A confirmation message will appear asking if you are sure — tap "Sign out" again to confirm. You will be returned to the login screen.

If you cannot find your profile icon, check that you are in the main menu of the YouTube TV app, not inside a show or channel. The profile icon is a small circle with your initial or profile picture inside it. If you have never set a profile picture, it will show a generic silhouette.

How to sign out on tablets

The process on iPad and Android tablets is the same as on phones. Open YouTube TV, tap your profile icon in the top right, and select "Sign out" from the menu. On larger tablet screens, the profile icon may be positioned differently depending on your device orientation — if you are in landscape mode, it is usually still in the top right, but check the corners if you cannot spot it when ready.

If you are using a shared tablet, signing out is especially important because the next person to open the app will not have access to your account or viewing history. Make sure the sign-out is complete before handing the device to someone else.

How to sign out on smart TVs and streaming devices

On Roku, Apple TV, Fire TV, Chromecast, and other streaming devices, the sign-out process is in the settings menu rather than inside the app itself. Open YouTube TV on your TV, then press the menu or options button on your remote. Look for "Settings" or "Account" — the exact wording varies by device. Navigate to your account or profile section and select "Sign out" or "Remove account".

On some devices like Roku, you may see "Remove account" instead of "Sign out" — both do the same thing and will log you out of YouTube TV. If you cannot find the option in the app settings, try going to your TV's main settings menu, finding Apps or Applications, selecting YouTube TV, and looking for a sign-out or account removal option there. The location depends on your TV model and operating system.

After you sign out, the next person to open YouTube TV will see a login screen and will need to enter their own Google Account credentials. This is the safest way to prevent unauthorized viewing on a shared TV.

How to sign out on a computer or laptop

Go to youtube.com/tv in your web browser. In the top right corner, you will see your profile picture or initial inside a circle. Click on it to open a dropdown menu. Select "Sign out" from the list. You will be logged out when ready and returned to the YouTube TV home page, which will now show a login prompt.

If you are using a shared computer, signing out is important because the next user will not see your account, watch history, or saved shows. Make sure you are fully signed out before leaving the computer unattended.

Sign out of all devices at the same time

If you want to sign out of YouTube TV on every device at once without visiting each one individually, use your Google Account security settings. Go to myaccount.google.com in any web browser and sign in with your Google Account if you are not already signed in. Click "Security" in the left menu, then scroll down to "Your devices" and select "Manage all devices".

You will see a list of all devices currently signed into your Google Account. Find the device you want to sign out of and click on it. Select "Sign out" or "Remove" to end that session. If you want to sign out everywhere except your current device, click "Sign out on all other devices" — this will log you out of YouTube TV, Gmail, YouTube, and all other Google services on every other device, but keep you signed in on the one you are currently using.

This method is useful if you have lost a phone, sold a tablet, or suspect someone else has accessed your account. It is faster than manually signing out on each device, and it works even if you no longer have physical access to some of your devices.

What happens after you sign out

Once you sign out, your watch history, saved shows, and recommendations will no longer appear on that device. If you sign back in with the same Google Account, all of that information will return. If someone else signs in with a different account, they will see their own watch history and recommendations instead.

Signing out of YouTube TV does not sign you out of Gmail, YouTube, Google Maps, or other Google services on the same device. If you want to sign out of everything, you will need to repeat the sign-out process in each app or service separately. On a computer, you can click your profile picture in the top right corner of most Google services and select "Sign out of all accounts" to sign out of everything at once.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I sign out of YouTube TV on one device without affecting the others?

Yes. Signing out on one device only affects that device. Your account will remain signed in on all other devices until you sign out on each one individually. If you want to sign out everywhere at once, use the Google Account security page method described above.

What if I forgot my password and cannot sign back in?

Go to accounts.google.com and click "Forgot password?" on the login page. Google will walk you through verifying your identity using a recovery email or phone number. Once you reset your password, you can sign back into YouTube TV on any device.

Does signing out of YouTube TV also sign me out of regular YouTube?

No. YouTube TV and YouTube are separate services tied to the same Google Account. Signing out of one does not sign you out of the other. You must sign out of each service separately if you want to be logged out of both.

Can I sign out of a device I no longer have access to?

Yes. Use the Google Account security page at myaccount.google.com, go to Security, and select "Manage all devices". Find the device in the list and click "Sign out" to end that session remotely. You do not need physical access to the device.

Will signing out delete my saved shows and watch history?

No. Your saved shows, watch history, and recommendations are stored in your Google Account, not on the device. When you sign back in with the same account, everything will be there. If a different person signs in with a different account, they will see their own history instead.
