Same here I even checked my internet connection and it says excellent, I uninstalled and then reinstalled, same error message pops up. It’s only the YouTube app that’s not connecting…all other apps are working fine.

Re: Youtube Not Connecting despite excellent WiFi strength

Jump to solution

I have two Roku devices, 2 computers, 1 tablet, 1 smartphone.

Youtube worked on BOTH devices for years

- now suddenly does NOT work on either Roku device. 

Now Youtube still works on 2 computers, 1 tablet, 1 smartphone. - with different userId

Now Youtube still works on 1 computers, 1 tablet, 1 smartphone. - with same userId

Now, as stated above Youtube does NOT work on either Roku device. 

NOT work means - it is reporting a network connection issue

Obviously NOT the problem, because ALL other channels work on both Roku devices - without any problems.

I reluctantly removed Youtube channel from 1 device and re-installed it.

NOPE still not connecting.

RESET Roku device 

NOPE still not connecting.

To me it is obviously a Roku, - Youtube issue.

Any ideas?

Same problem here. I did a restart, then reinstalled YouTube withe same result on my Roku devices. I tried YouTube on my Firestick and it worked just fine.

I am able to connect through wifi/internet via YouTube TV on mobile device and also through cellular over the  air.  All other streaming services work through roku devices both hardwired and wireless.   Tried all of the local fix options for varying roku platforms, YouTube and YouTubeTV will not connect to services through roku devices.

Nothing worked, yt still doesn’t work!!

1. Uninstalled yt

2. restarted Roku

 3. installed yt

 4. restarted Roku

5. started yt

     Yt started but before the login screen it throws an error saying that ‘No connection’. Started happening in the last hour.

Other apps work fine, like Directv and Netflix

 looks like this might be wide spread, Roku support you need to get on this and stop telling us to connect to the internet or restart the Roku.

BTW...my other smart devices can receive Youtube and YoutubeTV...it's obviously a Roku issue

Re: Youtube Not Connecting despite excellent WiFi strength

Yes it happens on HiSense with Roku Built in and the stand alone devices.  YouTube app on non-Roku devices are working.  YouTube on their app and website of course are also working.

I was just told by a Roku CSR this is a problem with Google/YouTube and the app they have provided to Roku.

So here's a big reason to turn off auto update 🙂
