Dude’s full of chit. He’s still down like the rest of us. ROKU isn’t able to fix YouTube. I’m not on ROKU, but VIZIO TV app and it’s a YT issue.

It’s not Roku, it’s YT. And it’s world wide. Go to REDDIT and see all the problems.

Kinda figured it had to be YT when it started popping up on so many different types of devices

The only solution is to log out and view as a guest? If I want to save the video, I'd have to log back in. Movies and documentaries requiring age verification to view, so I'd have to log back in, but then I'd again encounter the buffering/lag issue.

Re: YouTube is not working on TV

Jump to solution

Hello,

I have a ONN. Roku TV from Walmart and for the past couple days I have been trying to use YouTube but it will play for like 30 seconds to a minute and the glitch and then a spinning circle will appear and the video will stop loading. I have called my Internet provider and run all the test and that's fine. Even other apps work on the TV and YouTube even works on my phone. I am trying to do what you said here but I don't have that settings on my tv. I'm am super frustrated and so it my family. Any help would help.

In a video, scroll over to settings, which is the caption line.

Drop down to "feedback", select "buffering".

How do you like DEI, now
