Record or remove programmes

  1. Go to YouTube TV.
  2. Next to a show, sports team or event that you want to record, tap Add . All current and upcoming airings will be recorded and added to your Library.
    • If you add a programme to your library while an episode is in progress, your recording will start from the time that you added the programme. If a rerun of the episode airs, your partial recording will be replaced by a full episode. 
  3. Next to a show, sports team or event that you want to remove, tap Remove. All current and upcoming airings will be removed. Your recorded programmes will be available until they expire.
Note: You can't record content from NFL RedZone just by adding a specific team, league or match to your YouTube TV library. You'll need to add NFL RedZone to your library so that the full eight-hour block will be recorded.

Playback options for recordings (DVR)

If you're recording a match or programme, you can choose to:

  • Start your programme from the beginning
  • Resume the programme where you paused it
  • Watch the currently live programme
  • Watch key plays (you must check whether the stats and key plays feature is supported for the league that you're watching on your device)

Note: If you come across a bad recording in YouTube TV, you can report it within the video player.
