How to Use Your Samsung YouTube Widget

Many television sets include YouTube support.

Samsung televisions with the Yahoo! Connected TV platform include a YouTube widget. You can use Samsung’s YouTube widget to watch YouTube videos on your television. The YouTube widget appears on your Samsung’s Internet@ screen. Unlike other widgets on your Samsung, the YouTube widget provides a full-screen interface. You can browse for videos by category or use the search feature and on-screen keyboard to search for YouTube videos to watch.

Instructions

1. Press the “Internet@” button on your remote control to view your widgets.

2. Highlight the “YouTube” widget at the bottom of the screen by pressing the “Left” and “Right” arrow buttons on your remote control.

3. Press “Enter” to launch the YouTube widget.

4. Browse for videos to watch by highlighting “Featured,” “Most Viewed,” “Recent,” “Top Rated” or “Channels” and pressing “Enter.” You can also search for videos by highlighting “Search” and pressing “Enter.” A full-screen YouTube program appears after you select an option.

5. Use the arrow buttons on your remote to select a video in the list, and press “Enter” to play it. If you’re searching for a video, use the arrow buttons and the “Enter” button to type a search term using the on-screen keyboard. The search results automatically update after each character you type.

Tips & Warnings

• If you don’t see the YouTube widget, highlight the “Widget Gallery” widget and reinstall the YouTube widget from the Widget Gallery. You can install a widget from the gallery by navigating to its details screen, highlighting “Install Widget” and pressing “Enter.”
