You need a Google Account to sign in to YouTube. A Google Account works across all Google products (like Gmail, Blogger, Maps, YouTube, and more). Getting started | How and why to sign in to
YouTube and create a YouTube channel If you've signed in to any of these products before, you already have a Google Account. To sign in, enter the email address you used for those products. For example, if you use Gmail, it's your Gmail username. If you don't have a Google Account, you can create one on YouTube. Here are a few important details to
remember about Google Accounts and YouTube: Some older, unused YouTube channels (created before May 2009) might not be part of a Google Account. These channels may need to be added to a Google Account before they can be used. When you
sign in to YouTube with your Google Account, you can take advantage of many YouTube features: YouTube can also personalize video recommendations based on the videos you’ve liked and watched and your subscriptions. Unless you create a channel, you won't
have a public presence on YouTube. Your activity is fully private. If you want to upload your own videos, comment on videos, or create playlists, you can create a YouTube Channel at any time.

However, the Google Home device you have determines
how you can access and control YouTube. Here's what you need to know about using Google Home to play your YouTube videos. Google Home smart speakers can play selections from the YouTube Music service, but since they don't have a screen you can't watch the video or directly play audio from YouTube videos. However, there is a workaround. Using
Bluetooth, you can watch a YouTube video on your phone or PC and listen to the audio portion on a Google Home smart speaker. You can also use this trick to listen to YouTube audio on a Google Home Hub/Nest or compatible smart display if want to watch the video portion on your phone or PC. You can't use the YouTube Cast option to hear YouTube audio only on a Google Home smart speaker. Here is how to play audio from YouTube videos on a Google Home from your smartphone.

Paired Bluetooth Devices > Enable Pairing Mode. Open Bluetooth on your phone (in the phone's settings, not the Google Home app), the tap Available Devices and choose your Google Home device. Once the phone and Google Home device are paired, open YouTube on your smartphone to play something. You can watch YouTube videos on your smartphone while the music or other companion audio plays on your Google Home.

Using YouTube with Google Home/Nest Hub and Smart DisplaysIf you have a Google Home/Nest Hub or other Google-enabled smart display YouTube is one of the apps you can view directly on the screen (no smartphone, PC, or TV) and listen to YouTube audio on the device's built-in speakers. You may also be able to use Google Home with a Bluetooth-enabled speaker to listen to YouTube audio instead. Although Lenovo Smart Displays are classified as Google Home-enabled devices and can play audio from external Bluetooth sources (smartphones/PCs), they can't act as a source to play YouTube audio on an external Bluetooth speaker. To use a Google Home/Nest Hub with a Bluetooth Speaker, do the following:
