Sign out on your phone or tablet

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 login screen, and you are now signed out.

If you cannot find your profile picture, look for a menu icon (three horizontal lines) in the top left or right corner of the app instead. Tap it, scroll down, and select Sign out. The exact location varies slightly between Android and iOS, but the option is always in the account or settings area.

After you sign out, the app stays on your device but requires a login the next time someone opens it. If you want to remove the app entirely, hold down the app icon and select Uninstall (Android) or swipe up and tap Remove App (iPhone).

Sign out on your web browser

Go to youtube.com/tv in your browser and look for your profile picture in the top right corner of the screen. 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 login page.

If you are using a shared computer, signing out of the browser is especially important because it prevents the next person from accessing your account. Closing the browser window alone does not sign you out—you must click the sign-out button.

Sign out on a smart TV or streaming device

The process differs depending on your device. On Roku, Fire TV, Apple TV, and Google TV, open the YouTube TV app and navigate to your profile or account settings. Look for a Sign out or Logout option, usually near the bottom of the menu. Select it, and the app will return to the login screen.

On Chromecast, you cannot sign out directly from the device itself. Instead, sign out from the phone or computer that controls the Chromecast. Open the Google Home app on your phone, tap the device, select settings, and choose Remove account or Sign out. This disconnects YouTube TV from that Chromecast.

For gaming consoles like PlayStation or Xbox, go to your account settings within the YouTube TV app and select Sign out. If you cannot find this option, delete the app and reinstall it to clear the login information.

Sign out from all devices at once

If you want to end your YouTube TV session on every device you use without signing out individually, go to youtube.com/tv on a computer or phone and click your profile picture. Select Account or Settings. Look for an option labeled Sign out on all devices, Sign out everywhere, or Manage all sessions.

This option logs you out of YouTube TV on phones, tablets, computers, and streaming devices all at once. You will need to sign back in on any device you want to use again. This is useful if you have lost a device, shared your password, or want to reset your login across the board.

What happens after you sign out

Once you sign out, no one can watch YouTube TV on that device using your account until someone signs back in with your email and password. Your subscription remains active—signing out does not cancel it. You can sign back in at any time from the same device or a different one.

If you signed out because you are selling or giving away a device, make sure you also remove your payment information from that device's app store account. On Android, go to Google Play Store settings and remove your payment method. On Apple devices, go to Settings > [Your Name] > iTunes & App Store and sign out of that account as well.

Common mistakes to avoid

Do not assume that closing the app or turning off the device signs you out. It does not. The app will remember your login the next time it opens unless you explicitly tap the sign-out button. Similarly, clearing your browser history does not sign you out of YouTube TV—you must use the sign-out option in the menu.

If you are on a shared device and forget to sign out, the next person can watch your account and see your watch history. Always sign out before handing a device to someone else, especially on smart TVs in common areas.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does signing out cancel my YouTube TV subscription?

No. Signing out only ends your session on that device. Your subscription stays active, and you can sign back in whenever you want. To cancel your subscription, you need to go to your account settings and choose the cancellation option.

Can I sign out of YouTube TV without knowing my password?

Yes. You do not need your password to sign out. Just open the app or website, find your profile menu, and tap or click Sign out. The sign-out button works regardless of whether you remember your password.

What if I cannot find the sign-out button on my device?

Try restarting the app or device first. If the button still does not appear, uninstall and reinstall the YouTube TV app. This clears the login session and forces you to sign in fresh the next time you open it.

If I sign out on one device, does it sign me out everywhere?

No. Signing out on one device only affects that device. You stay signed in on all your other devices. To sign out everywhere at once, use the Sign out on all devices option in your account settings.

Can someone else use my YouTube TV account after I sign out?

Only if they know your email and password. Signing out removes your account from that device, but anyone with your login information can sign back in. If you want to prevent someone from accessing your account, change your password instead.
