Here’s what finally worked for me after about 45 different tries. Download YouTube tv app on my iPhone and log in. Restart chromecast from the settings menu. Voila!
If you already have the mobile app, try either:
1. logging out and back in within app
OR
2. deleting it, re-download, sign in,
In either case, restart chrome cast.
This was really really really annoying because chrome cast and YouTube tv are both new to me. And I was like dang wasn’t anything wrong with my Roku! (I’m just losing my Google fiberTV.)
