LG SJ800V - YouTube App - Change User


Question

Posted

Hello,

I am using WebOS3.5 on my LG 49 SJV800V. When I log into my YouTube account on my TV via my smartphone app, I login as the wrong user from my Google account. 

In the smartphone app the right user is shown, but when I am signed in on the TV app, the Google User is signed in, instead of the one I am using for YouTube. For people who do not know what I am talking about - you can have different Users in one Google account. A while ago Google decided to merge the Google account with your Youtube account. That is why different users exist. 

Is there a way to change to the correct user?

Thanks,

Maple Man

Hello, did you find a solution to this?

I'm currently having the same problem on my LG C8.

To solve this issue don't activate the account via the app on a mobile device.

When the TV is searching for devices select Try a different way at the bottom of screen.

It will give you a code and ask you to go to youtube.com/activate

You can then select the Account and the User.

      In a world where small actions can drive meaningful change, LG Taiwan is leading the way with a shining example of compassion and community commitment. For 13 years, LG Taiwan has worked hand-in-hand with the Children Are Us Foundation, a local charity dedicated to empowering individuals with intellectual disabilities through vocational training and social enterprise programs, including the production of handmade lunchboxes. Through sponsoring these lunchboxes, LG has helped deliver nutritious meals to over 4,000 underprivileged children living in rural areas. LG has contributed not only financial support but also time and care through volunteer activities that foster deep connections with individuals with intellectual disabilities.

      This year, the partnership took a creative turn with the introduction of an “aesthetic living” concept – an initiative that leverages collaborative art projects to nurture focus, creativity and communication skills. This evolution reflects LG Taiwan’s belief that technological advancement must go hand in hand with social responsibility, in line with LG’s brand promise of Life’s Good.

      Led by managing director Jeong Yeon-kwan, LG Taiwan volunteers recently participated in the Mandala Star art project, a powerful expression of inclusivity and empowerment. Designed to promote self-expression and a sense of achievement, the project transforms individuals with disabilities from passive recipients to active creators. Through vibrant colors, imaginative patterns and shared experiences, participants explored their creativity while building confidence and forming meaningful bonds with volunteers.

      These efforts reflect LG Taiwan’s ongoing dedication to the company’s Better Life for All vision. By combining innovation with human connection, LG is using its influence to foster positive social change. Through hands-on engagement and heartfelt outreach, LG is bringing the Life’s Good spirit to local communities – one action, one smile and one story at a time.

      Please Help. I have LG qned tv with webOS 23
      1) What I did: with svc remote -> in start -> 0413 and all, area option was changed.
      I was trying many numbers to find the code for KR (which didn't work).
      2) What I wanted : change area option from CA -> KR (widely known area codes do not work)
      Original code: CAD 22411
       
      3) Problem: Once I put a number between 19461 ~ 19489, Language&Country is set to EU and would not change the country with the other numbers.
      Area option: 19461 ~ 19489 Continent index: 5 ~ 33 Language & Country: EU  
      Now I put 22411 to change it back to original region, but the country would not change from EU to CA, the area option is back to 19461.
      If anyone is trying the area option numbers, don't put any number between them.
      If any one knows how to resolve, please help me to escape from EU.. I am so desperate.

      I have recently purchased an LG 55QNED86 television. I am located in Iran. Everything seems to be working fine, but when I click on any of the options, it tells me I must first consent to the LG Smart TV user agreement. However, I then get a message saying "Unable to load user agreements - a server error has occurred ......"
      Can you help?

      I just purchased the LG UHD 43UP76 advertised as real 4k however the YouTube App is running at 1080p.  Which means 4k content is downsampled to 1080p then reupsampled to fit the 4k pixel grid and the image quality is awful.
      i assume WebOS runs at 1080p and simply upscales to 4k on low end 4k TVs, this same with high end TVs??

      For the past few years I have been using a 2nd generation Apple TV to watch YouTube videos on my LG Smart TV, however as of today Apple have disabled their YouTube app for this particular device.
      I presumed I would be able to use a YouTube app on my TV to continue watching videos in this way, after all has anyone ever heard of a Smart TV without a YouTube app? Since most new TVs are smart TVs these days most people I know have one and they all have the capability to play YouTube videos, usually you don't even have to download the app as it is one of the ones that comes pre-installed.
      However I cannot find a YouTube app in the LG content store. I've not really tried to install new apps on my TV since getting it so I don't know if I'm looking in the right place, or it is one of those things like with smartphones where there are multiple places you can go and download apps from.
      Bizarrely though, despite there being no YouTube app, there is a YouTube kids app, so it's not like LG have never heard of YouTube or anything, they just don't seem to have realised that people other than kids watch videos on it.
