Ads when casting a video from a device without YouTube premium to androidTV with YouTube premium

by blessthrow2

Am I supposed to be getting ads when I chrome cast from a device logged into a YouTube account without premium, to androidTV that’s logged into YouTube premium? Because I have been and it’s been annoying

I believe it's the expected behavior. When you cast the Android tv is using the account from the device that casts. It's emulating a Chromecast, and the Chromecast itself has no account.

It's better to sign in your YouTube Premium account into your Android TV to make it working.

I believe it's the expected behavior because it's a different account and it has priority the one on the phone since that's what controls the casting session.

Currently, when casting a YouTube video from a phone to the Android TV's "Chromecast built-in", it opens now the YouTube app instead of the previous interface and Google seems to be testing the same behavior with the regular chromcast, take a look at this article:

Google testing YouTube ‘app’ for Chromecast with Android TV-like homescreen, player controls .

If you want, you can report this at the YouTube Feedback website, Google may consider this as a bug or not.
