Using a VPN to watch YouTube TV while travelling

20/12/2023

 
Collaborative Post | If you're outside the United States, you might be wondering how to watch live television without cable. YouTube TV offers a solution, but it's currently restricted to the United States. Can I use YouTube TV when I travel? Yes, but you need an additional tool - a VPN. In this article, we'll guide you on unblocking YouTube TV and accessing its service from anywhere in the world!

Why do you need a YouTube TV VPN?

​Why does YouTube TV restrict its service to the USA? Wouldn't it be better to have as many customers as possible? The reason is licensing agreements limit their service. Like other streaming platforms, YouTube TV signs deals with TV networks to host their content. These agreements typically cover distribution within a specific region or country (usually where the network's headquarters are located).

If YouTube TV allowed access outside of the US, it would violate their contracts and could face legal consequences. The same applies to popular streaming services such as Netflix, Hulu, and Amazon Prime Video. If you pretend to be a resident of another region, then YouTube TV will show you the content. But there is one condition - you need a reliable VPN that can bypass the restrictions.

What is the role of a VPN?

​You can bypass location restrictions and watch YouTube TV from anywhere in the world. All you have to do is use a VPN with YouTube TV. A VPN, or Virtual Private Network, allows you to connect to the internet through a server in a different country. By doing this, you can "mask" your IP address and appear as if you're accessing the internet from another location.

This method lets you access YouTube TV while you're abroad and makes it seem like you're in a different country, like the United States!

However, not all VPNs are the same. Some are not effective at unblocking services like YouTube TV or Netflix, which is the most popular streaming service. Others might be too slow for video streaming, or they may not have servers in the US.

To make matters worse, some VPNs do the exact opposite of what they're meant to do. They actually log your data and sell it to third parties. This practice is especially common among free VPNs.

How to stream YouTube TV abroad?

​Setting up and using most VPNs is generally straightforward, despite the presence of technical terminology. If you're aiming to access YouTube TV while bypassing blocks, connect to a US server location.

Follow this step-by-step guide to watch YouTube TV using a VPN:
  1. Get a YouTube TV-compatible VPN. If you want to travel with YouTube TV, try VeePN. It makes YouTube TV outside the US available and is suitable for other streaming services.
  2. Download and install the VPN app, which supports various devices like iOS, Android, macOS, and Windows.
  3. Sign in to the VPN app and connect to a server in the United States.
  4. Open YouTube TV. If you don't have an account, create one by providing a payment method associated with a US address.
  5. Once signed in, you can enjoy watching YouTube TV from anywhere in the world.

What do do if YouTube TV sees a VPN?

​Online services often try to block IPs associated with VPNs. If that happens, you can come across a problem when YouTube TV detects your VPN. You can fix this issue in several ways.

First, turn off your VPN. Then try the following:
  1. Clear your browsing history, cache, and other data. Restart your device.
  2. Connect to another US state in your VPN app because some servers may be overloaded.
  3. Change your VPN protocol in the app’s settings. Note that OpenVPN (UDP) and WireGuard® are most suitable for streaming.
  4. Turn your VPN on and open YouTube TV again. In case the problem remains, contact our customer support for help.

Is it legal to use a VPN to unblock YouTube TV?

Yes, you can use VPNs in most countries. VPNs let you bypass geo-blocking measures that stop you from streaming content from specific websites or regions. When you connect to a VPN server in a country where the website is available, you can access the site as if you were physically present there. This allows you to access YouTube TV from outside the USA, even with the geo-blocking restriction. Please note that VPN usage may be restricted in some countries like China, North Korea, Russia, etc.

Conclusion

​Let's summarize briefly. Does YouTube TV work internationally? No, this is a US service. Is it possible to watch it abroad? Yes, if you can pass yourself off as an American. To do this, you need a VPN that allows you to change your IP address to one that belongs to the USA or any other country. It is absolutely legal and does not require technical skills; anyone can master VPN.
