Thanks! You helped my senior parents so much. They cannot live without their YouTube. 🤗

Thank you so much. I was able to follow your instructions and the 3rd try was the charm. I'm 74 and I thought it will be imposible to make you tube work again. So I watched you on my you tube cell app and I did it. Yeee

This is incredible. While I was able to load YouTube in my bedroom Smart TCL TV, I was not in the same TV in my living room. After following your instructions, I was able to have YouTube loaded. Thanks for saving me time, possibly money to have someone come take a look at it and helping me learn a new skill. Bravo!

I had a black screen on You Tube. I tried your first method, unplugging and re plugging the tv and it worked! Thank you so much!

Such an easy fix--I unplugged the TV for 60 seconds and my full screen on YouTube reappeared like magic. Other sites suggested loading various apps and other complicated methods. Often, the simplest method is the best. Thank you!
