How to Fix YouTube TV Glitching Issues

Now that we’ve explored why you may be facing interruptions, here are steps you can try before reaching out for professional support:

1. Check Your Internet Speed

Make sure your internet meets the minimum requirements. YouTube TV recommends at least 3 Mbps for standard streaming and 13 Mbps or more for HD content. Restart your modem and router if speeds are slow.

2. Restart Your Device

A simple reboot often solves temporary glitches. Power off your TV, phone, or streaming device, then turn it back on and relaunch YouTube TV.

3. Update the App

Visit the app store on your device and check if a new update is available for YouTube TV. Updating often resolves the problem quickly.

4. Clear Cache and Data

For mobile devices or streaming sticks, go to the settings and clear app cache. This removes temporary files that may be causing playback issues.

5. Switch Devices

If one device keeps glitching, try logging into YouTube TV on another. This can help determine if the issue is with the device itself.

6. Contact Support

If the issue persists after troubleshooting, don’t hesitate to call (800) 646-6816. A representative can walk you through advanced fixes or check for account-specific issues.

@marismith44 has presented some solutions.

I have read that DSL 25Mbps speed, should be your lowest internet speed for streaming, but, still not be guaranteed the best. You can test your actual speed via Speedtest by Ookla - The Global Broadband Speed Test.

I have speed test to the house at 108Mbps, and during the day, I can get as low as 85 Mbps server speed. I watch YT on my TV, every day. Myself, I don't think 4 or 15 Mbps speed is good enough. DSL speed depends on how many are on the same line in your area at the same time, that reduces your performance.

Just my additional thoughts
