My YouTube app used to work on my 23' Lightning Lariat ER but not anymore. I'm successfully connected to my T-Mobile hotspot but no YouTube. Any thoughts or fixes?

I assume you've tried power cycling the truck? You can also reboot the center screen by holding the right seek button and the volume down (the outer buttons at the bottom of the steering wheel) for ~10sec.

my experience wit h the youtube app has been inconsistent. It seems to work fine at home connected to the home wifi, and although I have used a few times with my phone as a hotspot, just as many times I couldn't get it to work at all. I DCFC only a few times a year so it's not a show stopper for me, but I have learned not to count on it.

I would say reset your screen. If you have wireless connectivity then youtube should work. I just tested mine successfully.
Unless it is an issue with Tmobile and in this case you just need to switch to AT&T. 😜

I used the built in YouTube app on Monday morning via my Samsung Galaxy S24u hotspot, also T-Mobile,

Double check that the truck didn't try reconnecting to the projection SSID instead of your hotspot SSID.
