When it comes to Google or Android-powered Smart TVs and streaming sticks, you sign in with a Google account. This account is then used to sign in to all other Google services installed on your TV. The YouTube app that comes pre-installed on Android TV and Google TV uses the same account for signing in.
While the main account gets signed in to YouTube by default, not everyone prefers to use the same account for YouTube. So, how do you sign out or remove a YouTube account from a smart TV and sign in with another account? If you have the same query, you’ve come to the right place for the answers.
