    Hi KB104,

    Welcome to the Roku Community!

    Thanks for letting us know about this behavior. We'd like to see how we can help. Have you checked to see if an unfamiliar device is connected to your network? Commonly, devices that can cast to your TV must be connected to the same network as your TV. Changing your network password might be a good option to resolve this.

    Keep us posted.

    All the best,
    Kash

    I have a related issue, but reversed. While watchingcYoutube on my Roku, literally in the middle of a video, I get a notification that I am now logged into (some random account I don't know) and I have no idea how or why this is happening.

      YouTube on mobile phone snagging your TV over WiFi.  Doesn't throw a prompt on the TV, not sure YouTube on roku has a setting to prevent this.

      Complain to google.
