switch YouTube accounts

I have Apple tv the 3rd generation and it streams my youtube videos to my TV perfectly. However, I have a couple YouTube accounts under 1 profile. One account is for "business". The other account is "personal". Again, I only have 1 YouTube profile but 2 accounts under that 1 login. Apple TV has defaulted to my "business account" and I would rather have access to my "personal" YouTube subscriptions. Of course, on YouTube.com, I can switch between accounts... but I do not see where this is possible with Apple TV.

QUESTION #1: Does Apple TV allow me to switch between my YouTube accounts? QUESTION #2: If I can't switch between accounts, do I have any control over which YouTube account Apple TV defaults to? ***AGAIN, I have only 1 youtube proflie (1 username and log in), but 2 accounts under that profile.

Please help. Thanks!

This worked for me. Login to YouTube under the default account that Apple TV is currently set to. Go into "Youtube Settings". Select "Advanced". Under "Signing into older apps" click the drop down and select the account you want to switch to. Then "Save". Log into Apple TV with the default account. The options should now contain the profile of the account you just switched to. Good luck!
