Hi rashadd26,

Is this when using the YouTube app? If so, for help with the app, test the steps below to close the app and reopen. You can also find the steps in the article here: Close an app on your iPhone or iPod touch

"From the Home Screen, swipe up from the bottom of the screen and pause in the middle of the screen.
Swipe right or left to find the app that you want to close.
Swipe up on the app's preview to close the app. "

Restart your iPad with the steps here: Restart your iPad

You can also check your network connection. Connect to Wi-Fi on your iPad

If the issue remains and this is the only app you experience trouble with, complete the steps here: If an app on your iPhone or iPad stops responding, closes unexpectedly, or won’t open

Cheers.
