The latest move in the ongoing fight between Roku and Google sees the latter adding a workaround of sorts to allow YouTube TV access through the standard YouTube app.
In a blog post titled “Next steps for YouTube TV members on Roku,” Google announced a new feature coming to its YouTube app that will allow access to its YouTube TV live TV streaming service.
Elsewhere in the post, Google says the YouTube team is still working to reach a new agreement with Roku.
So if you’re a Roku user who’s also a YouTube TV subscriber, and you couldn’t grab the app before it disappeared, you should soon be able to fire up the regular YouTube app and see a new button marked “Go to YouTube TV.” The first time you do this, you might have to sign in, but it should give you access to the live TV streaming service while the two sides hash out a new deal.
