Youtube no longer autoplays the next video streaming videos to Apple TV via Safari

Youtube used to be able to autoplay videos to Apple TV from Safari. Now after each video it stops, even when autoplay feature is clearly on. Sometimes it says it can't play this video but the Safari is 13.1.2 and is capable of playing videos. Most of the time it just stops after playing a video streaming to Apple TV. Once in a while a video will play after another one but eventually it stops after a certain number. It used to play indefinitely. What happened?

MacBook Pro 15″, macOS 10.13

Hey there, tahsali,

Thanks for visiting the Apple Support Communities. We understand that you're having trouble using AirPlay between your Mac and Apple TV. Specifically, YouTube videos don't automatically play in Safari. We'd be happy to help!

First, make sure you have the autoplay feature enabled in YouTube: Autoplay videos - YouTube Help.

If the issue continues, see if the steps in If AirPlay or screen mirroring isn’t working on your device - Apple Support help.

Should the issue persists, set up a new user account, and check to see if the issue continues there: Set up users, guests, and groups on Mac - Apple Support.

Best!

Hi again, tahsali,

Thanks so much for confirming autoplay is enabled. If you haven't already, we encourage you to go through the troubleshooting steps provided before, using If AirPlay or screen mirroring isn’t working on your device - Apple Support and Set up users, guests, and groups on Mac - Apple Support to see if the issue continues in another user account.

If you have already done that but still are unable to get the autoplay feature working as expected, we would recommend reaching out to Apple Support directly. You can do that here: Get Support.

Have a wonderful day!

YES of course autoplay is on.... I am not stupid. Let me be specific, again. Autoplay DOES NOT autoplay on Safari 13. It starts to then stops. Once in a while, a video, will actually autoplay but MOST DO NOT. It used to work well with Safari 11. Now after upgrading, I CANNOT AUTOPLAY while streaming to APPLE TV 64GB. Sometimes it says, it cannot play the video. But the browser is compatible. You everyone out there right now is able to autoplay continuously without stopping on Apple TV except me? Please someone help.

So I am the only person who can't stream Youtube videos on Apple TV with Safari 13? Nothing helps, all the same.

Even with Adguard off, Adblock off, it still stops after each video after playing (*&(^(^&(&%&%*%-ing ads. PLEASE APPLE BLOCK ALL ADS FOREVER FROM ALL DEVICES. ALL ADS.
