PS4 YouTube fix

If you're still having trouble logging into YouTube on PS4, goto Google in a browser and security in account settings.

Under account permissions select "apps and websites", find PSN and select "Revoke Access."

You should now be able to log in on your PS4.

Post if it works.

Edit: Doesn't work for everyone.

This worked for me. It's been driving me nuts that I couldnt log into the app. It also fixed uploading to Youtube as well via Share Button. Thanks!!

Try revoking again. I can see my uploads and subscriptions.
 
This does not work for everyone. A lot of people having the issue don't see PSN appearing under the access section of their google account even after linking their SEN. There's nothing to revoke.

Doesn't work for me because I just can't sign in.
I've got no PSN listed in the security settings of my Google account.
 
I dont even have that kind of option.

I just keep getting "feature is temporarily unavailable" and then my friend tries it and he gets in no issues. Cant even get to the login screen now.

I didn't have the option but I chose to be more lenient with security can't test to see if that works yet though. I hope it does :(
 
Are you going to Google in a browser on your computer? I know some people aren't showing "PSN" in the list.

All thats in my list is my HTC phone related stuff

Try it. Mine is Enabled.

I actually enabled it, deleted the app from my PS4, reinstalled it, and I clicked Sign in. Still getting the same stupid unavailable error.

doesnt work for people who have a youtube account and a google+ account

I dont think thats the problem because a friend I'm in a party with right now has the same setup and he got in on the first damn try. Very infuriating.

Yes I'm doing it from my PC.
I've also tried to enable the less secure apps.
When I try to sign in to Youtube from my PS4 it doesn't work, yesterday it said there was an error with the server, now it's changed and it says that the feature is temporarily unavailable.
I guess I'm stucked waiting until the next stability update :p

Tried again, same error. When i use with my Gmail account, the PS4 logins correctly but i can see my subscriptions, my videos or upload anything (Error WS-37313-7) Funnily enough, i can see the videos in "my history" tab. When i login with my YT account with that gmail account, it shows "This feature is temporarily unavailable" :/

It seems to be a problem when you don't have merged your gmail account with your YT account.

After revoking try log in on the PS4 YouTube app first and not the share button link-up. Then press the share button, option button, link accounts and click on YouTube. It will confirm the link with your YouTube account.
 
Thank you so much. Worked great for me. I selected my "main" Google account, not the other (original) YT account that's connected to the same email.

"Access for less secure apps" may not be related. I have it disabled.

Doesnt it just upload it to your youtube account that uses your real name?
 
Thanks OP. After waiting since launch of firmware 2.0 I've finally managed to link my psn account to my youtube one. Uploaded my first video with the share function without a hitch. Sony should announce this fix as I am sure many people are getting really frustrated and don't realize there is a simple solution available.

No PS4 apps to revoke, probably because I haven't tried linking my main account, only my alias on Youtube from before the Google+ switch.
