    A warm welcome here in the Roku Community, SX!

    We appreciate you reaching out for support. We're here to find you the best resolution possible.

    Let us try to start from the beginning and reset the app. We suggest performing the basic troubleshooting method by removing the app (navigate to your Home screen, move to the right, highlight the app, press Star*, then select Remove channel), performing a system reboot (navigate to your Home, select Settings > System > Power > System restart), and reinstalling the app (navigate to your Home, scroll and select Store, look for the app, then press Add channel) to see if it will let you activate your YouTube account. 
    If the issue persists, it is highly recommended to directly contact YouTube's customer support for further assistance and clarification as they are the ones who provided, maintained, and updated their app on the Roku streaming platform. 

    We hope you get everything sorted out soon and appreciate you bearing with us in the meantime. 

    Best regards,
    Carly

      You need to be a bit more specific than that. Roku model number for a start. Then exactly what is or is not happening.
