On my Apple TV, using YouTube, what do I type into the search field to gain access to a PRIVATE video that was uploaded for me. It is to be played at a bridal shower this Saturday, so need to understand asap how to access the video. To share the private video, the user grants me access, then sends me the URL. Is it the URL that must be typed in or what? Thanks.
iMac, Mac OS X (10.6.8)
You can't directly as there is no browser. If you have an IOS device you can open the link there and airplay the video

If the link takes you directly to the app then yes, otherwise you can just do it through Safari. There isn't much to using airplay, you just need it enabled (via settings) on Apple TV and then the icon will show up whrn your iphone is on the same network. Tap the icon, select Apple TV and the video is transferred.
Much appreciated...I'll give it a try. Thanks again for your help.
Thanks for the quick response vazandrew. I have an iPhone 5. Am I able to access it via the Youtube app on the phone and use Airplay to send to the Apple TV? Or...using my iPhone would I search on the URL in the Safari app and try to play from there?? I've not used Airplay before, so how's the best way to learn that quickly? I've searched through all my reference books and can't find anything on the subject. Many thanks for your help!
