How to Share YouTube TV with Friends and Family - YouTube TV Family Sharing Instructions

I've been enjoying YouTube TV since 2018 and despite some price increases I still think it's so much better than cable. Along with being able to watch local channels live and having an unlimited DVR to record programs, YouTube TV does allow subscribers to share the streaming service with up to 5 additional users. That way your family can watch YouTube TV with only one subscription.

However, there are a couple of limitations plus benefits which I'll explain later. If you're subscribed to YouTube TV, here's how to share your account with friends and family. Sign into your account on a web browser like Chrome or Firefox. Click on the icon image at the top right of the screen and then click on Settings. On the popup menu click on Family Sharing. Then click on Manage.

On the Account Management screen I can see my profile as well as one other person I've already shared my account with. But if I want to share YouTube TV with another person I'll click on the button that says Invite Family Member. And you'll notice it'll also show me how many invitations I have left. On the next screen, I'll type in an email address of the person I want to share my account with. And just so you know, the person I'm sharing with has to have a Gmail account. That is a definite requirement. Click on the confirmed email address in the search results box. Then click Send. In this video I sent the invitation to myself. And when I exit out I can see the pending invitation and the expiration date.

In the invitation email Google sends out, the recipient just has to click on Accept Invitation and then sign into YouTube TV on any computer, phone, smart TV or any other streaming device. It's pretty simple to do.


Before ending the video, here's some additional information I think you might find useful. So if I sent an invitation by mistake I can also cancel it by selecting the pending invite in my dashboard. I then just have to click on Cancel Invitation. But if someone is already a member of my account, I can easily remove them. To remove a person on my YouTube TV account, click on a confirmed member's icon. Then click on remove member and that person will no longer be able to watch YouTube TV under my account.

The management of users is important because of the limitations I mentioned earlier. Even though YouTube TV allows you and 5 other people access in one account, only a total of 3 people or devices can stream YouTube TV at any one time. Also the people you share YouTube TV with need to live in your home area. If the person you shared your account with lives outside your state or region they will eventually lose access in about 3 months because of the location restrictions. There is a way around this which I've outlined in another video on my channel.

YouTube TV sharing is a great feature they built into the service. And what's even better is that each person you share your account with has their own independent DVR and viewing history. That way, everyone's accounts won't be cluttered with program suggestions, history and unwanted recorded shows from other members.
