What has changed regarding watching youtube on my apple tv from my iphone and macbook pro in the past month or two?

In the past month, I have stopped being able to play youtube content to my apple TV from my iphone - I can only get audio to play, and no video. When I activate mirroring, the video quality is much worse than it ever was before. Additionally, there is no option to play any content from youtube to my apple tv from my macbook. What has changed?

The native Youtube app was removed in IOS 6. You would have had to download the official 3rd party app, which has not been enabled for airplay. This is up to the developer to do.


The only way to do stream Youtube content from laptop to Apple TV natively is through Airplay mirroring, which requires a recent (2011 or later) model running Mountain Lion. The alternative is going through software, Airparrot.
