youtube.com/locate NFL RedZone Verify Your Location
To verify your location in YouTube, go to youtube.com/locate so you can watch a current NFL live game in the YouTube app on fire stick and PlayStation.
I recently subscribed to NFL RedZone on YouTube. I can only access standard YouTube and not YouTube TV. The YouTube app on both the Fire TV and the PS3 keeps telling me to “Verify your current playback area” whenever I try to view a live game.
Manage your home area or current location for YouTube TV
What you can watch and record on YouTube TV is based on your home area. When you sign up for YouTube TV, we’ll ask you to share your home zip code. We may also ask you to verify your area via your device location permissions. This is to make sure you get the right networks in your location.
Keep in mind:
- You can only change your home area twice per year. You have to be physically in your new home area to update your home area in YouTube TV.
- If you travel outside of your home area, you can view local programs in the location you travel to, but you can’t record anything outside of your home area. When you travel outside of your home area, you can’t watch local networks airing in your home area.
- If you’re a frequent traveler, make sure to use YouTube TV at least once every 3 months in your home area. This check in ensures you will continue to get the correct local networks.
It talks about location tells me to go to YouTube .com / locate then sign in. I’ve done this numerous times and still can’t watch any games. Please help.
To cast to your TV you have to use YouTube TV app on TV even if you purchased Sunday Ticket via YouTube. I could not get it to cast to TV using YouTube it kept asking me to update playback area, even thought it was showing my playback area on YouTube. Once I updated playback area on YouTube TV I was able to cast to TV.
Trying to watch games via my Xbox one. I did the youtube.com/locate using the Edge browser and it finally worked.
Even though you purchased the ‘YouTube Only’ version, you still use the YouTube TV app. I was having the same issues, downloaded YTTV and it’s working for me.
