[BlindTlk] youtube off this phone for cause!

[Raul Gallegos - NAGDU]

Hello, maybe I missed some context or another part of the conversation. However, my experience with YouTube and with my TV is quite a positive one. Both the YouTube and the YouTube TV apps are accessible in the various ways that I use them. My primary phone is a Google pixel and my primary TVs are the Amazon Omni and the Amazon Toshiba fire edition tvs. Plus I also have a couple of Amazon fire sticks. Everything is completely accessible. If I ever need to sign into a new app on the TV and the code is displayed, either the voice from the TV itself will read it out loud, or there will be a QR code, or I can use my phone's camera with a specified app to get the code. While it is true that not all streaming services offer audio description, apps like YouTube tv, peacock, paramount, Disney, prime video, netflix, and a few others have them.
