cannot switch accounts in apps

declan123 — Thu, 09 Jun 2022 13:15:06 GMT

Hi guys,

Weird thing is happening with apps like YouTube or Stadia. Although I have added my Google accounts to the Chromecast with Google TV but I am not able to switch between accounts anymore. When I am choosing to switch accounts it gives me as option only the main account, nothing else. Yesterday it was given me the choices of my other signed-in accounts.

Checked for updates, all up to date. Removed the apps and reinstalled them, but no success either.

Any idea?

Ditto. I thought it was because of a recent power outage, but after resetting YouTube and factory resetting the Chromecast TV, I get the same problem.

I can dig down to"manage accounts" in the YouTube app to see the other account that was added to the Chromecast, but can't pick it.

I hate the idea of going back to my Samsung Smart TV app, just for YouTube, but...

I reported it to Google Tech Support (tier 1?). We'll see.

Came to say the same thing here. Unable to swtcith accounts on YouTube, and as we watch a lot of YouTube in the house, this has become extremely annoying. Hopefully Google will fix this urgently

Got it fixed. Just unplugged the Chromecast with Google TV and after reboot all was normal again!
