A YouTube support team member took to the Google Help forum to answer various complaints and they did fix the issue for multiple devices but some, persists. Here is what you can try:
-
1. Reinstalling the app
The first and simplest thing to do is to uninstall and reinstall the app. If you have noticed that the YouTube team has released a fix for your device then check the app Store. Chances are you already have an update with the patch.
This method has the highest chances of success as the problem lies within the YouTube app, not with the Samsung TV.

This is the next method to follow if you cannot find the update or the reinstall method to be working. The bonus point for this method is that it also clears any pending updates that might be important for your device.
To try this, simply head to the settings and check the system updates. The settings might be different in each device but you should have no problem finding it as long as you read the options carefully.

Somehow this tough fix always finds its way into the general fixes whenever I write how to fix articles. This is because of how effective it is. It removes every possibility of glitches and bugs in your system, as long as it is not hardware-related.
Most devices have the reset settings easily available in the settings.
