Update: Google just updated YouTube TV to pull support for Roku Players. Details can be found HERE.
So we wanted to take a minute and explain how casting YouTube TV to Roku players works. (For now this only works on Android phones and tablets.)
Here is a video demo of how to watch YouTube TV on your Roku app:
You can also follow these steps:
- Make sure you have the YouTube Roku Channel installed on your Roku Player.
- Next, download the YouTube TV app to your phone or tablet.
- Sign in or signup for YouTube TV.
- Start playing the channel you want to watch.
- Tap on the video on your phone or tablet to find a cast button in the top-right corner of the video.
- Click on that video and select the player you want to cast the video to.
NOTE: Your Roku and phone or tablet must all be on the same Wi-Fi network. Your Roku player or TV must also be turned on.
There you go. You can now enjoy the YouTube TV on your Roku player.
Side Note: There is still nothing posted about this on Roku or Google’s website. It is possible this was released early by mistake and could be turned off.
