YouTube TV on Roku Tip: How to Return to the Last Channel

YouTube TV is a great option if you want to stream live TV, but one thing people want is a quick way to return to the last channel they were watching. The YouTube TV app on Roku has a simple solution to switch between television programs fast! We tested this process on a Roku TV and the Roku Streaming Stick+. Watch and find out how to to get back to the previous channel you were watching on YouTube TV.

Because BACK would be WAY too easy and intuitive.

You just made youtube tv even better for me!!

Any way to go from channel to channel live without clicking remote button with arrow pointing left before changing channels?

[dougrivord]

This does not work anymore for me. When I do this I just get a list of ALL of my channels, in alphabetical order.

There needs to be a one button solution for this otherwise YouTube TV through Roku is not worth it especially with the fact that they don't have an app for YouTubeTV and you have to use YouTube with extra steps

Click back takes me to LIVE, GUIDE, MY LIBRARY, ON DEMAND, VIDEO STORE...options. You might let folks know what TV Brand & Model # you are using, and.... which Roku Remote Model you are using??? Are you using a Cable Provider along with your Roku? These items all matter! Geeze.
