- HBO Max was rebranded to Max earlier this week.
- The rebrand appears to have affected YouTube TV logins for Max.
- Google has acknowledged the issue and is working on a fix.
HBO Max transformed into Max yesterday, a move that was planned months ago. However, that plan didn’t seem to go as smoothly as Warner Bros. Discovery had hoped. Users who log into the streaming platform with their YouTube TV subscription are now having difficulties.
The transition to Max didn’t exactly go off without a hitch for Warner Bros. Discovery. For some, the HBO Max app automatically updated to Max, while others had to do it manually which required a new app. Following the streaming platform’s rebrand, users who bill their subscription through YouTube TV found they were unable to sign in, as reported by PiunikaWeb.
