YouTube TV Adds The Ability to Switch Accounts to Apple TV & Roku
Over the weekend, YouTube TV quietly rolled out an update to their Roku and
Apple TV apps. Now users can switch accounts allowing multiple people to use
the same YouTube TV app on Roku and the Apple TV.
With YouTube TV you can share your subscription with up to 5 people at no
additional cost. This means they can have their own DVR recordings, viewing
preferences, and more without having to have multiple subscriptions. That means
your spouse or kids viewing habits won’t suddenly show up in your DVR or
recommended shows. (You can learn more about setting up a Family Group on
YouTube TV HERE<https://support.google.com/youtubetv/answer/7251139?hl=en>.)
This was first spotted by the /r/YouTubeTV
subReddit<https://www.reddit.com/r/youtubetv/comments/7xwvut/account_switching_now_on_apple_tv/>.
Some additional YouTube TV features available on Apple TV:
* Cloud DVR with no storage limits
* “Library” tab that includes easy access to the shows you’ve recorded.
Browse movies, shows, and events by new, most watched, and more to find the
perfect thing to watch
* “Home” tab with personalized recommendations including top picks, resume
watching (easily pick up where you left off on another device when you get
home) and more
* “Live” tab with a full program guide to see what’s on now and what’s
airing soon
* Background playback experience so you never miss the action while you
browse the app
* Ability to share with up to 5 other roommates or family members in your
household. Each family member gets their own login, DVR, and personalized
recommendations
Right now YouTube TV is available in over 80 metro areas. You can add YouTube
