you'll need to press the logout button, once you've done it you can switch accounts from google's sign in page.

@Venipa You don't get to pick one of your YouTube accounts on sign-in, it just defaults to your first one.

I found a work around for this.

  • Click on Manage your Google Account from the account dropdown
  • Open the dev console under view -> developer tools and type location.href= "https://www.youtube.com"
  • Change your account on YouTube in the browser window, close the window and restart the app.
