If you are still using an older version of Apple TV and you are having trouble accessing YouTube, don’t worry. We have got you covered. Here is a step-by-step guide to help you watch YouTube on an older version of Apple TV.

Step 1: Check the software version on your Apple TV

To check the software version on your Apple TV, go to the Settings app and then choose General. From there, select About and check the version number. If you have version 2 or 3, you will not be able to access YouTube through the native app. However, you can use a workaround to access YouTube using another app.

Step 2: Download the AirPlay app on your iOS device

To stream YouTube on your old Apple TV, you need an iOS device with AirPlay. If you do not have it already, download the AirPlay app from the App Store. Once installed, open the app and select the TV you want to stream to.

Step 3: Connect your iOS device to the same Wi-Fi network as your Apple TV

Make sure that your iOS device and Apple TV are connected to the same Wi-Fi network. This will ensure that AirPlay works smoothly.

Step 4: Launch the YouTube app on your iOS device

Open the YouTube app on your iOS device and play the video that you want to watch. When the video starts playing, tap the screen to reveal the playback controls.

Step 5: Select ‘AirPlay’ from the playback controls

Tap on the AirPlay icon on the playback controls in the bottom right corner of the screen. This will display a list of available devices connected to the same network. Select your Apple TV from the list.

Step 6: Enjoy YouTube on your old Apple TV

After selecting your Apple TV, the video should start playing on your TV. You can use your iOS device to control the playback by using the playback controls on your device.

In conclusion, even if you have an older version of Apple TV, you can still enjoy YouTube using AirPlay. By following these simple steps, you can easily stream YouTube videos on your outdated device. So sit back, relax, and enjoy hours of your favorite videos on your old Apple TV.
