AirPlay not working with YouTube app

Correction: The previously described problem happens with SOME videos on Youtube, possibly just long ones, i.e. multi-hour videos. Shorter ones, i.e. under two hours, seem to work through Airplay/AppleTV just fine. Testing continues...

I have the same problem -- every time I try to play a video through the Youtube app on my iPad and AppleTV, I select AppleTV on the iPad via Airplay on the iOs "pull up" menu but after about two seconds the iPad changes back from "AppleTV" to "iPad" on the Airplay setting. I have restarted and rebooted everything (iPad, AppleTV box, my wireless router), but it doesn't help. The iPad/AppleTV/Airplay combination works fine with other apps, e.g. Facebook, so the problem is pretty clearly with the Youtube app (updated 3/17/15).

Howdy cheekyage,

Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities.

To start troubleshooting this issue where you're unable to use AirPlay with the YouTube app on your iPhone, I'd like you to please force the YouTube app to quit, and then restart your iPhone.

iOS: Force an app to close

Turn your iOS device off and on (restart) and reset

Take care,

Alex H.

Found that the AirPlay feature of, particularly YouTube on iOS, unable works to project video to TV via wireless display, i.e. XiaoMi MiBox.

Other apps with AirPlay feature works well. Possible the coding of YouTube itself doesn't comply to the AirPlay standard, or need any update on the other party software required?

Same here,

AirPlay with MacbookPro13 (2014) + AppleTV4

Mirroring works fine

Airplay video from youtube not, if i press on the icon and select Apple TV, icon turns blue, but nothing happens at all... video continues playing on Macbook

Cheers

Youtube via airplay to appleTv from my iPhone not working in iOS 9.1. I gave up and use chromecast from my iPhone. It just works. Quicker and smoother. It wakes flips my Samsung tv input to itself and starts playing. AppleTv requires me to manually switch to its input and then doesn't work anyway. Chromecast works better with my iPhone than appleTv does.

I Changed dns settings from manual back to automatic. then everything was working perfectly again!

Did you check dns? Made a difference for me.

Forgive my ignorance, but how does one "check dns"?

See settings<general<network. After changing dns from manual to automatic my Apple tv was working properly again.

DNS alreadly set to automatic on the AppleTV box.

This is about the Apple tv though, isn't it?

There are now 2 threads about same issue...

But i have exactly same problem...

Mirroring = working fine

Youtube Video = nothing happens

Im playing youtube over screen mirroring at the moment..

Cheers

This is the issue of YouTube app.

I downloaded third-party YouTube players (such as Tubee) and they work fine for AirPlay.
