Windows 10

Fix: There was an error licensing this video on YouTube TV 2020

YouTube TV users have reported an occasional error that reads as follows. Sorry, there was a license error for this video.

It only appears when using Chromecast Media Players or a Chromebook. Note that YouTube TV supports the latest Chromecast devices or the Chromecast application and Chromecast Ultra.

If you are using a first generation chromecast, the problems are even more common. Furthermore, the bug seems to affect not only streaming to YouTube TV, but all video content as well.

Updating Google Chrome

  • Go to the Chrome menu -> Help -> About Google Chrome.
  • You should see the installed version of Chrome and an “Update” button when updates are available.

Signing out from your Google Account on Youtube

If you’ve signed in to Youtube with your Google Account, sign out and try using Youtube again. This works if the problem was caused by a problematic Google Account.
