YoutubeTV disappeared from my home screen on my Roku. When I go to redownload it, it says “couldn’t install app”. It will let me download other apps though. I updated my Roku and then restarted it and it’s still not working.

My YouTube TV app mysteriously disappeared and now I can’t get it to reload. I’ve restarted the Roku and checked for updates.

Re: YouTube tv app not adding
Having the exact same issue as of this afternoon - disappeared.
- When I search for it, says "Open App".
- When I click that it says "Couldn't Install App. Could not add YouTubeTV"
- System Update / System Restart didn't help.

Re: YoutubeTV disappeared, now can’t download
I've got the same problem. Tried doing exactly what you did and got the same results.
I got mine squared away. Go to Settings and then Update Software. The YouTube App will automatically be added. Once you try logging into YouTube it will basically be like your doing it from scratch. Just follow the instructions on the screen and you'll be fine.

Re: YoutubeTV disappeared, now can’t download
Same on 3 of my devices, however I also have a TCL TV with embedded Roko and it still has it. I power cycled my devices and did an update. It did download an update but made no difference.

YouTube TV not loading - Could not load app
YouTube TV was working fine and I went out of it to watch something else and it disappeared. Tried to find it in the channel store and it says it couldn't launch the app. I am paying for YouTube TV and I know it isn't down.
