No freezing for Black Ops 2 installed on HDD but for YouTube app it freezes a lot.. weird eh

I keep getting a black screen when watching alot of videos also the app want launch right it keep going back to dashboard. i had to sign out then launch the youtube app after that sign back in half of the time that work. we need updates.

I am also experiencing a lot of freezing while using this app, it happens every single time I decide to stop watching a video and go back to the main youtube menu. Basically just by pressing 'B' the screen just goes black and the whole system becomes unresponsive
until I manually power it off.

Hello,

I've taken these steps and the issue has not resolved. I believe the issue is within the Xbox App, not the console. I can stream from the console to YouTube or Twitch without any issues but encounter freezing and black screens when exiting or entering full screen in the Xbox App when streaming to my PC from the console through the Xbox App.
