Xbox 360 YouTube how do I unsub a channel?

[Daehawk]

I was trying to sub my wife to a channel on the 360 YT. I sub'd to the wrong one before I got the right one and now I cant find a way to unsub from 'Aimee' lol. Any ideas?..the web is unhelpful as it keeps showing me how to unsub from Xbox live itself.

Can you log into youtube from a browser using your wife's xbox account?

subs are handled as part of the account profile I vaguely remember.

Didn't see anything in there. But thanks for the suggestion.

Hmmm, through the browser you see your subscriptions on the left "menu" pane. Clicking the word "subscriptions" brings up a list of your subscriptions in the main pane. From here you can see buttons beside each subscribed channel with the word "subscribed" on it. If you click this button the channel is removed from your subscriptions.

Nothing like that in the xbox youtube app?

I don't have an xbox, so I can't confirm this but it appears there is an extra step if you want to let your xbox manage your youtube account.

This sign-in tutorial seems to give you full control of your youtube account (including subs). If I'm way off then I have nothing else to add.

Code: Select all

You can sign in to your YouTube account on your console to easily access your YouTube subscriptions and playlists such as Watch Later and Favorites.
Sign in to YouTube on Xbox Live

Before you start you need a YouTube account. If you don’t have one, go to YouTube, click Sign in, and then click Create Account.

Sign in to your YouTube account

    If you haven’t installed YouTube on your console, install the YouTube app.
    Sign in on your console.
    On your console, go to Apps, My Apps, and then select YouTube.
    Select SIGN IN, then select get started.
    Write down the code that appears on screen.
    In a web browser, go to YouTube.com/activate. Sign in to your YouTube account, if prompted.
    Enter the code that you wrote down and click Continue.

    Click Accept to allow the YouTube app to connect to your You Tube account.

    Now go back to your console.

Your YouTube account is now connected to your Xbox Live account.

Now when you use the YouTube app, go to SUBSCRIPTIONS to see your YouTube subscriptions. To see your playlists, go to ACCOUNT and select playlists.

Oh ok that got it! I thought I was logged in with her account but it was a 2nd account of mine instead. No wonder I didn't see any subs lol.

Thank you. You'd think you could unsub in Xbox just as you sub'd with it.

I'm glad you found a solution, and yes, it seems the opposite of intuitive for no good reason.
