How to Remove YouTube Account from Smart TV? Step-by-Step Guide

If you’ve signed in to your YouTube account on a shared or public smart TV, you might be wondering how to log out safely. This guide will show you how to remove your YouTube account from a smart TV, whether it's a Samsung, LG, Sony, Roku, or any Android-based model.

Why You Should Remove Your YouTube Account​

• Prevent others from accessing your history or subscriptions
• Protect your privacy in public/shared spaces
• Sign out from a device you no longer use

How to Remove YouTube Account from Smart TV (Directly on the TV)​

Works on most smart TVs (Samsung, LG, Sony, etc.)​

1. Open the YouTube app on your smart TV.
2. Navigate to the left menu and scroll down to Settings.
3. Select Accounts & Sign-In.
4. Choose your Google/YouTube account that’s currently signed in.
5. Select Remove Account or Sign Out.
6. Confirm the action.

On some TVs, the menu may say “Sign Out” instead of “Remove.” Both options will disconnect your account.

This method works even if you left your account signed in on someone else’s smart TV.
