My son, who is part of my YouTube TV family is receiving a notification, " please sign in from your home area or updated by may 24th. Otherwise, your access to YouTube TV will be limited.". He has signed in from our home but he’s still seeing this error and he’s unable to use his yttv account. Any guidance would be appreciated.
Have hom sign in from a location aware device like his phone.
Does he live in your house?
If he does live with you and it doesn’t work then make sure he is not using a VPN.
Doesn’t matter where the sign in was. If he doesn’t live with you and uses the app elsewhere you’ll have trouble. It’s household sharing not family sharing in practicality.
Does your son live with you?
When’s the last time he signed in from your home?
He needs to be signing in from an IP address on your home network. Either he is not at your home or he is on a VPN.
Did he do the whole verifying location thing while in your home? He has to do that periodically to still be able to use it since technically you’re not supposed to share with anyone outside your home
Is he using your home network when signing in?
Assuming he doesn’t live with you …
Unless he’s a college student (in which case it’s broadly accepted that he’s part of the same household), he needs to be on his own plan. If he is a college student, id suggest reaching out to support and explaining the situation.
DirecTV Stream will 100% solve your problem.
Family can use DTV’s three out-of-home streams simultaneously anywhere in the US without ever having to verify or “check in” on your home network. You also get unlimited in-home streams standard.
The shills & Google in this sub will downvote this but it’s the truth.
Yes, he does now. He moved back home from college for the summer
He just moved back home from college

Almost correct; you only get two unlimited out-of-home streams with DirecTV Stream; the third is limited to mobile devices and is highly restricted; you can’t even cast DVR recordings to your TV if you’re on an Android mobile device, unless you want to mirror your whole phone and not just the DirecTV Stream app. Very inconvenient.
On his phone, have him verify his location. tv.youtube.com/verify
For now. They’re starting to clamp down. Glad it’s working. As with the OP one day it probably won’t.

Wrong again. Give it up already.
DTV is MUCH more flexible than YTTV.
It’s not “highly restricted” either – LMAO.
DTV Subscribers can log into as many streaming devices as they like.
And DTV does not restrict the 3 out-of-home streams to some Google group that has to check in either. Huge plus.
DTV comes standard with 20 streams in-home, and 3 more outside the home.
The 3rd active stream can’t be a streaming box if used simultaneously — but it can be cast to a TV or Apple TV for a 3rd stream on a TV.
Stopping copying & pasting without explaining.
You’re helping no one.
DirecTV is WAY better than YTTV.
