Want to know how to install Youtube on Firestick quickly? Here is the complete guide for you which is updated in March 2023. Let’s go. We have addressed some issues which you might face during the installation of YoutubeTV.
You can enjoy Youtube TV on Firestick too. You only need to download and install it. If you are not able to do that we are here to show you step by step process to install it. It is simple and easy.
What is Youtube TV?
YouTube TV is a paid video streaming service that Google introduced in 2017, allowing users to watch live TV from major broadcast/cable networks without using cables. YouTube TV is available in nearly every US state. There is no easy solution for FireStick users to watch YouTube videos. Installing YouTube TV on Amazon FireStick, however, has some workarounds.
Owing to the falling out between Google and Amazon earlier in 2018, the YouTube FireStick app had to be removed from the Amazon store. Yet then the two internet giants came to terms and YouTube is now freely available via the Amazon Store. There’s no doubt that YouTube is an amazing media source and I am glad to see it back on FireStick.
What makes me even happier is that the FireStick feature on YouTube TV is now officially available in the Amazon App Store. The YouTube TV app can be enabled anywhere on FireStick and used.

Now that the software is enabled you’d like to start using it immediately. Ok, there are a few things we need to do to get the app ready to show you the FireStick YouTube videos. This isn’t going to take that long.
Go back to the home screen at FireStick. You can not see YouTube listed in the section of your ‘Apps & Channels’ (second row). That’s Good! We can access it from the Apps list at any time.
The YouTube icon can also be transferred to the home screen. That is completely facultative. Nonetheless, putting the feature that you often use on the home screen makes it a little easier.

How to Play YouTube on Firestick TV?
The following SIGN IN window will appear when you launch the App for the first time. While signing in is optional, I would always suggest that you do so. This unblocks all of the limited content and lets you access all of your current accounts, playlists, and history connected with your Google ID that you use for YouTube.
You can also select Sign up. You will also have a range of videos to watch. When you want to sign up later you can go to the Accounts section in the left menu and follow the onscreen sign-up instructions.

Here is what you can do if you want to SIGN IN:
- The above-shown window appears with the code Sign In
- Go to youtube.com or turn on your screen or phone
- Type code in the Code.
- If you are not already signed in, log in with your Google ID.
Install Youtube TV on Amazon Firestick?
YouTube TV is YouTube’s Live-TV page. This offers access to a number of satellite channels like ESPN, Fox, CBS, and many others. Long-awaited was the official launch of YouTube TV on FireStick. Finally, the wait is over and youTube TV is now an official Amazon Store download.
Now I will take you through the steps of downloading the official YouTube TV app from the Amazon Store on FireStick (Method 1 below). I have given alternate methods for accessing this application (Method 2), at the same time.
When you can install the Amazon Store’s YouTube TV FireStick app, there’s no need to pursue alternative methods.
- Method 1 (Primary): Download the official FireStick TV app on YouTube via Amazon Store.
- Method 2: YouTube TV connection through a browser on FireStick.
Let’s start with method 1 to install the Youtube TV on Firestick.
Method 1: Install Youtube TV from Amazon Store
Here are the steps to access YouTube TV from Amazon Store on Fire TV:
- Open the search option from the FireStick / Fire TV home screen
- Tap the lens icon and move to the top-left corner.

- Look up YouTube TV by typing in the app’s name.
- Click YouTube TV when the search results come up.

- On the next tab, click the YouTube TV icon.

- Now, if this is the first time you download YouTube TV on your FireStick, click Get.
- If you have already downloaded and activated the software, press the Install option (which you will see instead of getting).

1. From the home screen of FireStick choose Check (lens icon) at the top-left corner

Features of Youtube TV
Here is a list of some of YouTube TV’s creative or interesting features:
Unlimited DVR Storage: Users can record as many shows as they want and hold up to 9 months of recording.
Cable-Free: You can watch your favorite live TV channels everywhere you go since there is no need to attach long cables or wires to watch channels on your TV.
Flexibility: YouTube TV is an excellent option for anyone who regularly relocates, say at least once a year or so. Today, each time they don’t need to search for cable TV providers, they move to another community or state.
Stay Protected With a VPN
Typically the free streaming software, addons, and paid IPTV services that you use are hosted on unsafe servers. Your IP Address is logged in without a VPN. Your IP address points back to your location and identity, compromising your privacy as well as your protection. A VPN will allow you an anonymous Internet connection.
This would prevent the Internet Service Provider, creators of app/add-ons, government agencies, and any third party from logging into what you are accessing. VPN among cord-cutters is common because of their blazing fast speeds. It’s important to use a fast-paced VPN because we stream large HD files. Having one who doesn’t hold records on what their subscribers do online is also important.
Final Words
So, you get the official YouTube on Fire TV and FireStick apps that way. This app connects directly with your YouTube account and carries all of the YouTube videos you’d like to watch, including all of your channels, playlists, and even the history of browsing.
