What is Youtube Activation Code?

A YouTube TV activation code is a temporary, unique set of numbers and letters (e.g., XY12-3AB4) that links your streaming device (smart TV, Roku, Fire Stick, etc.) to your YouTube TV account. This code appears on your TV screen when you open the YouTube TV app and is used to verify your device at youtubetv.com/activate.

  • Download and launch the YouTube TV app on your smart TV, streaming device (Roku, Apple TV, Fire Stick), or gaming console.
  • If prompted, sign in with your Google account.
  • If an activation code appears, note it down (e.g., "XY12-3AB4").
  • On a computer or mobile device, go to youtubetv.com/activate.
  • Log in with the same Google account used for YouTube TV.
  • Type in the activation code from your TV screen.
  • Click "Next" or "Activate"—your device will refresh automatically.
  • Once activated, YouTube TV will load, and you can enjoy live channels, DVR, and on-demand content.
