Make sure your iPhone or iPad is connected to the same Wi-Fi network as your Apple TV.The following steps show you how it's done. If you own an iPhone or iPad, however, you can still watch YouTube on a second- or third-generation Apple TV using Apple's AirPlay wireless streaming protocol. (You're also basically in the same situation if you own the second-generation Apple TV, which doesn't have an App Store at all.) If you own the older set-top box, which launched in January 2013, you'll be unable to access the video platform directly via the official YouTube Apple TV app.

Beginning March 2021, YouTube officially ended support for its YouTube app on third-generation Apple TV models.
