Unable to login to Youtube

I have a streaming stick in my bedroom.  A few days ago my YouTube was active and all good.  Two days ago I went to watch YouTube (not YouTube tv) and I was signed out.  My screen initially asks me to sign in to my Google account.  I go through the motions and I receive a message stating I was unable to login. My screen goes grey and my only options are to start a new account, kids YouTube and guest.  None of the options work.  I have deleted the app, restarted my Roku and re-added the app and tried to login.  I’ve refreshed my app, I’ve deleted the app, turned off the tv and then gone through the re-adding, I’ve cleared the cache, I’ve gone to google to verify I have no errors.  I’ve gone to my app on my phone, no problems accessing YouTube!  I’ve gone on my computer, no problems! I’ve done everything I can think of.  I’m not sure if this is a Roku problem or a YouTube problem. Please help!!!  Oh and my internet is excellent per Roku system check testing so not that… ughhh

@RokuTakashi 
The two screen shots are after I go through the motions of using the QR code and logging in.  I get a successful notification, then when it hits the TV app, I get the something went wrong, sign in failed, try again.  I’ve tried both the QR code and just going to their activation site.  Both end up with that error?
