I have two LG TVs, one in the bedroom that works perfectly with YouTube TV using Chromecast. The other TV in the living room is an older model LG smart TV with Chromecast too, but it keeps showing a connection error. Even after resetting the Internet connection, it insists on no connection issue. The device is clearly connected to the Internet, yet the HDMI connection keeps displaying no connection. Seeking assistance to resolve this perplexing issue.

We have a Youtube TV subscription to watch TV, including local channels like yours in Madison. However, we are facing an issue where Youtube TV thinks we are in Illinois instead of Wisconsin, preventing us from watching our local channels. This problem stems from our internet connection being linked to a cell tower in Illinois. Despite contacting Youtube TV multiple times, they claim they cannot assist, directing me to Verizon, our cell service provider. This issue has persisted for over a year. Despite being given a case number, 8-[redacted][redacted], and assurances of a supervisor reaching out, we have yet to receive any follow-up. We rely on local news for our evening viewing and hope for a resolution to access the local channels we are paying for.

My channel has been suspended or terminated without any explanation. I haven't received an email from YouTube, and I am unable to sign in to my account using my email, password, or the URL provided. This channel is where I upload my videos related to cooking, cleaning, decorations, decluttering, organizing, storage, grocery hauls, and food preparation. I apologize if any content on that channel has caused this issue.

YouTube offers a movie rental service where customers can rent using PayPal for different video qualities. The rentals are priced differently for standard definition, high definition (1080p), and potentially 4K versions. Some users have reported that despite paying for a higher quality video, they only receive a lower resolution, which they feel is a fraudulent practice. They believe YouTube's failure to deliver the advertised quality is misleading customers and should be addressed by the authorities. Customers express frustration over YouTube potentially withholding higher quality videos that are already available or could be easily added to their servers. They have voiced concerns about this issue persisting for several years without a resolution. Customers expect transparency and honesty when purchasing digital products and find it unethical for companies to mislead consumers. They call for a stop to this deceptive practice to maintain trust between businesses and customers.

I made a regrettable error, and I apologize. My Youtube channel, which had a significant number of subscribers, has been suspended. I understand the reason for the suspension, and I am willing to correct my behavior. My channel is essential to me, as it supports my livelihood. I promise to never repeat the mistake that led to this situation. Please consider reopening my channel so that I can continue with the hard work I have put into it. Thank you for your understanding.

Hello YouTube team, views on my YouTube channel suddenly dropped. Either my videos are not going viral or they are only getting a few views. Whenever I upload a video, it shows 0 views and the numbers are not increasing. My phone was not working for some time, so I couldn't upload videos consistently, which may have caused the downfall of my channel. Please, please solve my issue quickly. I hope my message reaches you. Kindly assist me. Thank you.

I am reaching out to U-Tube as I have noticed that my account was charged twice for the month of October. On October 1, [redacted], there was a pending charge of $77.98, followed by another pending charge of $72.99 on October 2, [redacted]. I am concerned about being charged twice for the same service. This error may lead to my account being overdrawn, resulting in overdraft fees. I kindly request immediate assistance to rectify this situation. I have attempted to contact U-Tube without success. I would appreciate a call from a customer service representative. Please contact me at [redacted]. Thank you, Judith R.

I subscribed to YouTube TV through my Verizon account and paid Verizon for the service, which they then paid to YouTube. When I ended my Verizon service on 8-1-23 due to relocation, my billing cycle was on 7-28-23, and it was paid in full through autopay. I only had both services for three days before receiving notice that my YouTube TV account was closed. I am asking for a prorated refund of the $72.99 I paid on 7-27-23 since my account was only active for three days within the 30-day billing period.

I am considering purchasing YouTube Premium, but I find it to be quite costly. Is there an option for an annual subscription with a discounted price? Also, I have three separate Google and YouTube accounts - one for work, one for entertainment, and one for music. I prefer to keep these accounts separate as I don't want the content to mix. Can one YouTube Premium subscription be used across all three of my accounts without having to pay separately for each one?

Dear Support Team, I need help with my YouTube channel. As a musician under a distribution company, I've encountered a problem with royalties coming from various pages where my music is being distributed. I prefer to have my music exclusively on my own YouTube channel to receive royalties directly. Could you assist me in connecting my music to my personal YouTube channel and locating my Tunecore account? My email associated with Tunecore is [redacted] My YouTube channel is "Matt Lee" with the link @matt_lee_official. I've already released music on YouTube titled "Lucid by Matt Lee" and "Our Secrets by Matt Lee" and would like to ensure I receive royalties for these tracks. Please help me with this matter promptly. Thank you, Matthew Lee

I have a concern regarding the video link I shared. Today, on the 14th of October, the playback count decreased from over 67,[redacted] to around 62,[redacted]. I am curious about the reason behind this sudden drop. Could you please investigate if there were any issues with your system or if an error occurred in the calculations? If there was a mistake, I kindly request that it be rectified so that the correct number of views is displayed. I am eager to hear back from you regarding this matter. Thank you.

Hello! I am experiencing an issue with my Samsung Smart TV where the YouTube app is not functioning properly. This problem started about two months ago after the latest app update. The app either doesn't load at all or freezes. Navigating through categories is limited, and the up-and-down function doesn't work, only left-to-right. The app freezes frequently and I am unable to exit it, requiring me to turn off the TV. I have been an active user for many years and have reached out to customer service several times, but have not received any response. Can you please look into this matter?

Dear Sir/Madam, I am struggling to understand why my short video is not appearing in the YouTube Shorts feed. I need assistance to ensure my video gains visibility in the Shorts feed. Despite usually receiving over 1,[redacted] views, in the past 8-9 days, my video has not even reached 10 views. This sudden drop is troubling as I rely on YouTube payments for financial independence. I kindly request your support in resolving this issue as it is causing me distress. I am facing various challenges in my life, and the lack of income from YouTube adds to my difficulties. Your help in rectifying this matter would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

"I'm facing an issue with my Google account as I've forgotten my password. During the recovery process, I encountered an error message stating, 'Google couldn't verify this belongs to you.' Despite reaching out to support for help and being told to expect a response within 24 hours, I am still awaiting their assistance. I'm considering deleting this account to create a new one due to video content issues identifying it as reused. Since I lack access to the associated YouTube account, I'm seeking support in closing my account. Verification via last device login or a verification code sent to my phone would be appreciated. My channel name is @messyquiz, and you can reach me at [redacted] for further assistance."

I run a YouTube channel featuring diorama episodes. Unfortunately, in the last 48 hours, SME has blocked two of my videos due to copyright claims, even though I had obtained permission to use them except in specific regions. Suddenly, the videos are unavailable for viewing entirely as YouTube has blocked them. I have not received any communication from YouTube explaining the block. Despite my attempts, I have been unable to contact anyone at YouTube by phone. It is puzzling why my channel is being targeted while others with similar content are unaffected.

I noticed multiple charges on my CashApp account from Youtube totaling 8 transactions ($40 for 4 charges and $8 for 4 charges). CashApp advised me to contact the merchant to dispute these transactions since I did not authorize them. I tried reaching out to the provided Youtube support numbers, [redacted] and [redacted], but unfortunately, I did not receive assistance. I am eager to have these unauthorized charges refunded back to my card promptly. Thank you.

I have a large error message on my screen stating: "Ad blockers violate YouTube's Terms of Service. It appears that an ad blocker may be in use. Video playback is blocked unless YouTube is allowlisted or the ad blocker is disabled. Ads support YouTube for billions of users worldwide. You can enjoy an ad-free experience with YouTube Premium, ensuring creators are still compensated from your subscription. Please assist me. I do not use ad blockers and need to contact an individual for help. Thank you.

Cum pot contesta această decizie? Există dovezi concrete în sprijinul acuzațiilor de escrocherii, spam sau practici înșelătoare pe canalul meu? Este dezamăgitor că nu există un minim de respect pentru persoanele suspendate pentru a-și exprima opinia. Toate acțiunile par a fi automatizate, cu suspendări sau blocări conturi bazate pe algoritmi, fără posibilitatea de a discuta cu cineva pentru a analiza situația și a corecta eventualele erori!

I've had my YouTube channel for years, but it was recently removed. I understand now that posting something sexual on private violated their rules. I didn't intend for it to be seen publicly. I'd like to have my channel reinstated and assure you it won't happen again. My YouTube channel is blade Bleezy and my email is [redacted]. Thank you.
