Frequently Asked Question

Q1. Why won’t YouTube TV verify my location?

 This usually happens due to disabled location services, GPS errors, VPN use, or IP address mismatches that prevent YouTube TV from confirming your location.

 Enable GPS and location services, disable VPNs, update your home area, clear cache, and try verifying your location on a mobile device.

 Yes, but only if you have updated your home area recently. Otherwise, YouTube TV may block streaming outside your registered location due to content restrictions.

 YouTube TV limits how often you can change your home area to prevent abuse. Frequent changes can lock you out of location updates temporarily.

 Older operating systems or blocked location permissions on smart TVs can cause location verification errors.

 Yes. VPNs mask your IP address and often cause YouTube TV to fail verifying your location.

 Go to YouTube TV settings on your device or browser, navigate to the Location section, and enter your current zip code.

 Older smart TVs, Android TV OS devices with outdated software, and browsers with disabled location permissions are common culprits.
