How to Connect YouTube from your Mobile Device to your TV

Last updated on April 19, 2019 By TechLifeGeek 9 Comments


Find out how you can connect your phone’s or tablet’s YouTube App to your TV wirelessly.

You can control YouTube in your TV wirelessly through WIFI with your phone or any other mobile device using a smart TV or any of the supported devices below:

  • Chromecast
  • Smart TVs with the YouTube app
  • Android TV
  • Google TV
  • Roku
  • Playstation 3 and Playstation 4
  • Xbox 360 and Xbox One
  • Wii U
  • Blu-ray Disc Player with the YouTube app installed
  • All set-top boxes or cable boxes with the YouTube app installed

If your TV can connect to your WIFI network and has a YouTube app installed, then your TV is a Smart TV! There’s no need to buy any other TV device such as Chromecast to control YouTube with your mobile device and enjoy a YouTube TV Queue. However, if your TV is NOT a smart TV, consider getting a Chromecast.

    I’m typing the tv code in correctly on the app, but it’s still not working. The “link” button is still grey, cannot click on it. Worked on this tv before, all of the sudden can’t connect.
