Shorts row at the end of search results disappeared on YouTube for TV — anyone else?
Hey everyone,
I used to rely on the Shorts row at the very end of search results on YouTube on my TV (Chromecast) — it’s been there for years and was a key part of my ASMR routine. Recently, it’s completely gone.
- I can still see Shorts on mobile and desktop, but the TV app no longer shows them in search.
- There’s no filter or toggle for Shorts in the YouTube app on TV.
- I’ve tried scrolling, reloading, and even using casting workarounds, but it’s not the same.
I swear this row existed for years, and its disappearance is messing with routines that relied on it.
Is anyone else experiencing this? Has anyone found a workaround that brings back the end-of-search Shorts section on TV?
Would love to get this noticed by YouTube if possible — this feature being gone is a huge downgrade for TV users.
