2 Kids In The Middle is Streaming on YouTube!

We will teach you how to watch YouTube videos on your TV screen for a more immersive experience!

The simplest way to do this is to use the YouTube app on your Smart TV, streaming device, or gaming console, and then browse for videos using your regular remote!

If your TV or streaming device doesn't have a YouTube app but supports casting or Airplay, you can cast YouTube directly from your computer, phone, or tablet!

3 Using a Smart TV or Streaming Device App

1. Select the YouTube app on your TV:

i. Look for the icon on your TV's app screen. Opening the app will bring you to a Sign In screen. ii. If you don't already have the app, you'll have to download it from your TV's app store.

2. Go to https://www.youtube.com/activate on a computer, phone, or tablet:

i. This brings up the "Connect a device" page, where you'll enter a code that you'll see on your TV.
