Can't log out of youtube without removing account from the device

[AdrianGN]

Hello, everyone.

So, I can't seem to find a way to log out of youtube without removing my account from the device. My account is used for everything else in our living room chromecast but I don't want my google account to appear on the youtube app. I tried deleting data from the app but when I open youtube again I'm still logged in. And there's no option to sign out anywhere. It's frustrating because my youtube history keeps getting filled with videos that I didn't watch and it can mess with the recommendations I get. What can I do in this case?

Thanks for the help.

Hi AdrianGN,

Thanks for posting here in the Google Nest Community. We’re sorry for the delay in response. If the account (Gmail) that you used for login is also the same account used for YouTube, it would be the default YouTube account. I suggest you give our friends at the YouTube Help Community a shout. Different users may already know how to make this work and must have shared it. You can directly reach out to YouTube Help for immediate or live assistance from their support team.

I hope this sheds light on the situation. Let us know if you have other questions.

Thanks,

Kimy
