Can I sign myself out of YouTube on all devices?

The more you use YouTube, the more important it is that you have an account. A YouTube account lets you "Like" and comment on videos, subscribe to channels, upload your own content, and enjoy a YouTube experience that is custom-catered to your interests. 

However, it's a good idea to keep your YouTube account a private affair, and that's true even if you haven't been viewing any questionable material. 

Leaving yourself logged in on public computers can allow strangers to access your account, which is never good. If you know you won't be YouTubing again for a while, go ahead and sign out when you're done.

It's likewise a good idea to sign out of YouTube on mobile if your iPhone or Android phone is going to be lying around where another pair of hands might pick it up.
