How to Stream YouTube on Your Non-Smart Samsung TV

Unfortunately, as your Samsung TV is not a smart one, it doesn’t have built-in apps or internet connectivity to watch YouTube directly. However, there are several options to enable YouTube streaming:

1. Using a Streaming Device

Companies like Roku, Amazon Fire TV, Chromecast, and Apple TV offer devices that turn your TV into a smart one. Here's how you can set one up:

Roku, Amazon Fire Stick, Chromecast, or Apple TV

These devices connect to your TV via HDMI and allow you to install the YouTube app.

Setup

Connect the streaming device to the HDMI port of your TV. Switch your TV to the corresponding HDMI input. Follow the device’s setup instructions to connect to Wi-Fi and install the YouTube app.

If you have a gaming console like PlayStation or Xbox, you can download the YouTube app on those devices.

Setup

Connect the console to your TV via HDMI. Switch to the correct HDMI input. Download the YouTube app from the console’s app store and sign in.

3. Using a Laptop or Computer

You can connect your laptop to the TV using an HDMI cable.

Setup

Connect one end of the HDMI cable to your laptop and the other end to the TV. Change the TV input to HDMI. Open YouTube in your laptop’s web browser and play videos.

4. Using a DVD/Blu-ray Player

Some DVD or Blu-ray players come with built-in apps including YouTube.

Setup

Connect the player to your TV via HDMI or composite cables. Switch to the correct input and navigate to the YouTube app on the player.

5. Casting from a Mobile Device

If you have a Chromecast, you can cast YouTube from your smartphone or tablet to your TV.

Setup

Connect the Chromecast to your TV and set it up with the Google Home app. Open the YouTube app on your mobile device and tap the cast icon to stream to your TV. Select the Chromecast device in the list.
