Frequently Asked Questions

How many streams does YouTube TV allow?
YouTube TV's base plan allows 3 concurrent streams. However, you get unlimited streams when watching from your registered home network. The 4K Plus add-on increases mobile streaming limits.
Why am I getting stream limit errors at home?
Make sure your devices are connected to your registered home WiFi network. If devices are using mobile data or a different network, they count toward your 3-stream mobile limit even when physically at home.
Does pausing a stream free up a slot?
No, paused streams still count toward your concurrent limit. You must completely close the YouTube TV app or stop playback to free up a stream slot.
Can I see which devices are using my streams?
Yes, go to YouTube TV Settings > Account > Manage your account > Device activity to see which devices are currently signed in and potentially using streams.
How do I set up my home network for unlimited streams?
Sign into YouTube TV from your home WiFi, go to Settings > Area, and update your home area. This registers your network for unlimited home streaming.
