Sign out of YouTube TV on each device separately

YouTube TV does not have a master sign-out button that logs you out everywhere at once. You must sign out on each device individually — phone, tablet, smart TV, computer, or streaming box. The steps differ slightly depending on what you are using, but the principle is the same: go to your account settings and select the sign-out option.

If you have lost access to a device or cannot physically reach it, you can revoke its access from your account settings on any other device. This forces a sign-out without needing to touch the device itself. This is useful if you sold a phone, left a tablet at a friend's house, or want to remove an old streaming device from your account.

Key Takeaways

  • YouTube TV requires you to sign out on each device separately — there is no single sign-out-everywhere option.
  • On phones and tablets, open the YouTube TV app, tap your profile icon, and select Sign Out.
  • On computers, go to YouTube.com, click your profile icon in the top right, and select Sign Out.
  • On smart TVs and streaming devices, navigate to Settings, find your account, and choose Sign Out or Remove Account.
  • You can revoke device access from your account settings on any device without physically accessing the device you want to remove.

How to sign out on your phone or tablet

Open the YouTube TV app on your phone or tablet. Tap your profile icon — it appears as a circle with your initial or profile picture, usually in the top right or bottom right corner of the screen depending on your device orientation.

A menu will drop down or slide up. Look for the option that says Sign Out or Sign out of all accounts. Tap it. The app will confirm that you are signed out, and you will return to the login screen.

If you have multiple Google accounts signed into your device, you may see a list of accounts first. Select the account you want to sign out of, then confirm the sign-out. This removes only that account from the YouTube TV app; other Google accounts on your device remain signed in.

How to sign out on a computer or web browser

Go to YouTube.com or YouTube.tv in any web browser. Look for your profile icon in the top right corner of the page — it is a small circle with your initial or picture. Click it.

A dropdown menu will appear. Scroll down to the bottom and click Sign out. You will be logged out when ready, and the page will return to the YouTube home screen without your account information.

If you use YouTube TV on multiple browsers or computers, you must sign out on each one. Signing out in Chrome does not sign you out in Safari or Firefox, and signing out on your work computer does not affect your home computer.

How to sign out on a smart TV or streaming device

The steps vary by device type, but the general path is: Settings → Account → Sign Out or Remove Account. On a Roku, go to Settings, select Accounts, find YouTube TV, and choose Remove Account. On an Apple TV, go to Settings, select Accounts and Sign In, find YouTube TV, and select Sign Out. On a Fire TV, go to Settings, select Apps & Channels, find YouTube TV, and choose Uninstall or Manage Storage (which removes your account).

On a Google TV or Android TV, open the YouTube TV app, tap your profile icon, and select Sign Out — the same as on a phone. On a Samsung Smart TV or LG TV with YouTube TV built in, open the app, access Settings within the app, and look for Account or Sign Out.

If you cannot find the sign-out option on your TV, you can remove the app entirely. This logs you out and clears the app data. Uninstall YouTube TV from your TV's app store, then reinstall it fresh if you want to sign in again later with a different account.

How to remove a device from your account without signing out on it

If you no longer have access to a device — you sold it, lost it, or it is at someone else's house — you can revoke its access from any other device where you are still signed in. This forces a sign-out on that device without you needing to touch it.

On a phone or tablet, open YouTube TV, tap your profile icon, and select Settings. Look for Devices or Manage devices. You will see a list of all devices currently signed into your YouTube TV account, along with the last time each one was used. Find the device you want to remove and tap the trash icon or Remove button next to it. Confirm the removal. That device will be signed out the next time it tries to use YouTube TV.

On a computer, go to YouTube.com, click your profile icon, select Manage your Google Account, go to the Security tab, scroll down to Your devices, and click Manage all devices. Find the device you want to remove and select it, then choose Sign out. The device will be logged out when ready.

What happens after you sign out

Once you sign out, that device can no longer stream YouTube TV unless someone signs back in with a valid account. Your watch history, saved shows, and DVR recordings remain tied to your account, not to the device itself. If you sign back in later on the same device, you will see the same library and history you had before.

Signing out does not cancel your YouTube TV subscription or affect your billing. Your account remains active and will continue to charge your payment method each month until you cancel the subscription through your account settings. Signing out straightforward disconnects that device from your account.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I sign out of YouTube TV on all devices at once?

No. YouTube TV does not offer a master sign-out feature. You must sign out on each device individually, or you can revoke device access from your account settings on any device where you are still signed in. Revoking access forces a sign-out on the target device without you needing to physically access it.

What if I forgot my password and cannot sign out?

You can revoke device access from your account settings on any other device where you are signed in, or you can change your Google password, which will sign you out everywhere. Go to myaccount.google.com, select Security, and choose Change Password. You will need to sign back in on all devices after changing your password.

Does signing out delete my watch history or saved shows?

No. Your watch history, saved shows, and DVR recordings are stored in your YouTube TV account, not on the device. Signing out straightforward disconnects that device from your account. When you sign back in, all your data will be there.

Will signing out on one device sign me out on other devices?

No. Each device is independent. Signing out on your phone does not affect your tablet, computer, or TV. You must sign out on each device separately, or revoke device access from your account settings.

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

Yes. Once you sign out, the device shows the login screen. Anyone with a YouTube TV account can sign in. If you want to prevent someone from accessing your account, sign out and do not leave your password where they can find it.
