To activate YouTube on your TV or media device, you’ll need to link your Google account using a specific alphanumeric code shown on your screen.
Quick Activation Steps
On your TV: Open the YouTube app and select Sign In or Link with TV code. A code (e.g.,
ABCD-1234) will appear on the screen.On your Phone or Computer: Go to youtube.com/activate.
Enter the Code: Type in the code displayed on your TV.
Confirm: Click Allow to give your TV permission to access your YouTube account.
Troubleshooting Common Issues
If the page isn’t loading or the code is being rejected, try these fixes:
Refresh the Code: The code expires after a few minutes. If it fails, click “Get a new code” on your TV.
Check the URL: Ensure you are at youtube.com/activate and not a third-party site. Scammers often create fake “activation” pages to steal login credentials.
Same Wi-Fi (Alternative Method): If your phone and TV are on the same Wi-Fi, you can often skip the code. Just open the YouTube app on your phone while the TV app is open; a prompt should appear asking if you want to connect.
Account Restrictions: If you are using a Brand Account or a workspace/school account, some TV devices may not allow sign-in. Try using a standard
@gmail.comaccount if you hit a wall.

A Quick Note on Scams
Since you’ve been researching online scams lately, stay sharp: YouTube activation is always free. > [!CAUTION]
If a website asks you to pay a “registration fee” or call a support number to activate your TV, it is a scam. Official Google activation will only ever ask for the code and your standard Google login.
