When I first turn on my Chromecast with Google TV, it shows the profile picker screen. Normally, if I pick my profile, then go to the YouTube app, it will be signed in as my YouTube account. If I pick my wife's profile, then go to the YouTube app, it will be signed in as her YouTube account, etc.
In the last week or so, this has stopped working. I noticed when I picked my profile from the main screen, opened the YouTube app and it was signed in as my wife's YouTube account?! I managed to switch accounts to mine from within the YouTube app, but then the next time I pick my wife's profile from the main profile picker (NOT within YouTube) and then open YouTube then it's still signed in as my account?! All it does is remember the last person that was signed into YouTube rather than change account depending on who's profile you're browsing in on the Chromecast.
This is really flipping annoying to say the least and I would love to be able to solve it but I'm not sure how. I have tried resetting the app, uninstalling and reinstalling the app and it's made no difference.
Any advice would be hugely appreciated.
Thanks

I am experiencing the same thing. It happened after a device update, which I only noticed because there was some notice when I first signed in.

Hopefully they have solved it with another update now because mine seemed to be working again last night! 🤞🤞
