Bugs in most software and apps are pretty common. What matters most is how quickly a company fixes them, restoring the experience for users. YouTube users faced a login bug when accessing the platform on TVs and some consoles, but the good news is that Google is rolling out a fix for it.
YouTube fixes login bug affecting TVs and consoles
If you’re feeling lost, here’s what was happening. A login issue affected some YouTube users over the past few days. This prevented them from signing in on TVs and consoles. Even with the correct password, some users couldn’t log back in after the issue signed them out. The issue affected Xbox, PlayStation, smart TVs, and streaming devices. As you can tell, it’s a pretty widespread issue that covered a lot of platforms.
Well, Google acknowledged it, and it’s now a thing of the past. As per YouTube, the login bug that signed users out and prevented them from logging back in has been fixed. YouTube, in a community post separate from existing threads, says that it investigated the issue and has now fully resolved it.
It seems to be a server-side issue
While it’s not clear when exactly this issue started, several Reddit threads from the past 24 hours suggest that it affected many users across the globe. The company in the community forum post didn’t say whether the fix involves an app update, hinting that the problem was likely server-side and prevented Google Accounts, and in some cases guest accounts, from accessing YouTube.
Regardless, YouTube is finally resolving the issue for users. You should be able to access your YouTube account on your smart TVs and consoles without any issues. That said, if you’re still facing the issue, give the fix a couple of days to hit your account.
