Enjoy YouTube directly on your TV
YouTube for Android TV is a video streaming app for your Android smart TV. It's simple to install and use, making it a convenient addition to your setup. You can find videos with text or voice search, saving you from remote typing if you watch or stream YouTube on TVs often.
Convenient but buggy
YouTube for Android TV's strengths are in its simplicity and accessibility. Once installed, you can quickly access your subscriptions and watch history. The mobile casting feature is also a big plus, letting you easily send videos from your phone to your TV. It has a large video library as well.
However, you might encounter some limitations. The app can freeze on certain smart TVs, and there's no way to disable autoplay. Also, 4K playback isn't always consistent, and the app might become unstable after updates, requiring you to troubleshoot. These issues can sometimes affect your viewing experience for a long time.
A mostly fine TV version of YouTube
YouTube for Android TV is a convenient but buggy way to enjoy YouTube on TV, with easy setup, voice search, and mobile casting. However, be aware that it can sometimes freeze, lacks an autoplay toggle, and 4K playback isn't consistent. While generally useful, these issues require troubleshooting for a smoother experience.
