How do I get sound back on my TV? I have it on YouTube TV on my laptop and phone but no sound on my TV, only picture.

To restore sound on your TV while using YouTube TV, check the following: Ensure that the TV volume is turned up and not muted. Verify that the audio output settings on the TV are correctly configured. If you're using external speakers or a soundbar, make sure those devices are powered on and correctly connected. Additionally, try switching the TV to a different input source and then back to the one with YouTube TV. Restarting the TV and the device you're casting or streaming from can also help resolve sound issues.

why is all of my youtube accouts showing a "content in not available" message

"Content not available" messages can occur for several reasons. The video may have been removed by the uploader, taken down due to copyright violations, or made private. Additionally, the content could be restricted based on your location or age. If you experience this across multiple accounts, it could also indicate a wider issue with YouTube or your network connection.

What is the reason for the $15.15 monthly charge for "Google YouTube" on my YouTube bill? I'm already paying $13.99 for YouTube Premium.

The $15.15 charge could be for your subscription to YouTube TV, which is a separate service from YouTube Premium. YouTube Premium allows ad-free viewing on videos and access to YouTube Music, while YouTube TV offers live TV streaming with various channels. If you’re seeing both charges, you may have subscriptions to both services. Please review your subscriptions to confirm.
