How to Restore YouTube TV on Roku After It Mysteriously Disappears
1 min read
Summary
Some Roku users have reported that the YouTube TV app has disappeared from their devices, with neither YouTube TV nor Roku releasing a statement about the issue.
If users attempt to reinstall the app, it is not available to download.
To restore YouTube TV on Roku, the device itself must be updated as simply resetting it does not remedy the issue.
This can be done by pressing the home button on the Roku remote, selecting “Settings” in the left-hand menu, then selecting “System”, “Software update” and “Check now”.
If YouTube TV is still inaccessible, the app can also be accessed via the YouTube app, with a YouTube TV shortcut available for those who don’t have YouTube Premium.
Another workaround is casting YouTube TV from a mobile device to the Roku.
If the user is experiencing an issue with excess apps taking up memory, removing unused apps may free up space for YouTube TV to be re-installed.
If all else fails, it may be necessary to purchase a new Roku device.
