Are you one of the millions of people who enjoy watching videos on YouTube every month? If you’re looking to watch YouTube on the big screen with your family, you’re in luck! In this article, I will explain the steps to follow to install YouTube on your TV box or Smart TV.
How to Install YouTube on Your Android Box
If you have an Android box or Smart TV running on Android, the YouTube app is likely already pre-installed. To make sure, you can visit the Play Store on your device and search for “YouTube” or “YouTube for Android TV.”
Once you find the app, you should have the option to “Open,” “Uninstall,” or if the app has been disabled, “Enable.” Since the app is part of the default Android package, it cannot be uninstalled, but there may be exceptional cases where the manufacturer allows it. In this case, the “Install” option may be present.
You can then click on “Enable” or “Install” depending on the situation to access YouTube. Alternatively, you can go to the settings of your device, then to “Applications.” YouTube, which is usually in the “Android System” section, should be enabled. If not, you can click on “Enable.”
