A Google Home connects all of the other smart devices in your home, so you can use the Google Assistant to play music, control your smart lights, answer questions, and more.

If you have a smart TV or a smart TV plug-in device like Chromecast or Roku you can also use your Google Home to control your TV and play YouTube, Netflix , and other streaming services.

To play a YouTube video on your smart TV through Google Home, simply ask the Google Assistant to play the video on the device, and it should work, as long as you've set it up properly.

However, even if you don't have a smart TV or compatible device, you can still play YouTube videos through your Google Home. You won't be able to watch the video, but it's quite useful for playing music, or listening to audio like podcasts.

If you ask your Google Home to play YouTube on a speaker, though, it will inform you that you can only play videos on video devices. Don't worry there is a way around this.

Here's how to do it.
