How to Activate YouTube on Any Smart TV ?

Watching YouTube on your Smart TV gives you the ultimate viewing experience — bigger screen, better sound, and full access to your favorite channels and playlists. But before you start streaming, you’ll need to activate YouTube on your TV using your Google account. 

Step-by-step Guide to Activate YouTube on Any Smart TV ?

Step 1: Open the YouTube App on Your Smart TV

Most Smart TVs come with the YouTube app pre-installed.
If not, go to your TV’s App Store (like Samsung Smart Hub, LG Content Store, or Google Play TV) and download YouTube.

Once installed:

• Launch the YouTube app

• Navigate to the left menu bar

• Select “Sign in” or “Link with TV code”
  
  

Step 2: Get the Activation Code

When you choose “Link with TV code,” a 12-digit code will appear on your TV screen.
Keep this screen open — you’ll use this code in the next step.

Step 3: Visit the Official Activation Page

On your phone, tablet, or computer, open a browser and go to
👉 yt.be/activate

This is the official YouTube device activation page.

Step 4: Sign In with Your Google Account

You’ll be asked to sign in with your Google Account — the same one you use for YouTube.
After signing in, you’ll see a box asking for your activation code.

Step 5: Enter the Code from Your TV

Type in the 12-digit code displayed on your TV and click Next or Allow Access.
Wait a few seconds while YouTube connects your account to your Smart TV.

Step 6: Enjoy YouTube on the Big Screen!

Once connected, your YouTube account will automatically appear on your TV.
Now you can:

• Watch your favorite videos

• Access playlists, subscriptions, and recommendations

• Like and comment using your account

• Stream seamlessly across all your devices
