If you’ve ever wondered how to sync your phone to YouTube on TV from iPhone and Android phones, YouTube have you covered. A new feature turns your phone into an extension of the main TV screen.
The changes turn a phone into a remote control for YouTube on your TV, so you can pause video, comment and subscribe with the two screens synched up.
First, sign in to the same YouTube account on your device and TV
Open the YouTube app on both the phone and on the TV
YouTube said: “You can directly interact with the video you are watching from the convenience of your phone. That means it’s easier than ever to read video descriptions, leave comments, share the video with a friend, or support your favourite creators by sending a Super Chat or becoming a member, all while you watch on the big screen.”
Why the change? Research by YouTube found that the vast majority of people use a second screen whilst watching YouTube on their TV – over 80%, and many are browsing the YouTube mobile app at the same time, with the same video open on their phone.
The new feature is also a good way to keep users glued to YouTube rather than browsing different apps at the same time.

Officially launched in 2007, RouteNote began as a digital music distribution platform for independent artists and labels to get their music online, free!
Designed and built to take advantage of the shift towards independent and self-publication through online and mobile music or video outlets.
RouteNote is partnered with some of the biggest retailers on the web to give artists massive and immediate availability for their products.
RouteNote has since grown into a full digital media management service providing artists, labels and creators instant access to a large proportion of the online market. Onsite, artists, labels and creators can upload content to the RouteNote catalogue and enter into a non-exclusive agreement permitting us to distribute their music to a worldwide audience.
Our rates for providing a distribution service are currently the best in the market and our ever expanding catalogue gives us increasing muscle with which to negotiate deals from which everyone, artists, clients and distribution partners included will all benefit.
