Can't see youtube app on Apple TV

Ggoogle decided not to support the YouTube app on all older devices, including Apple TV 1 & 2.

what does that mean ??

HOW can we access the youtube on apple tv. can we bluetooth from another device

Google changed the methods required to access YouTube content - AppleTV 1 and 2 don't know how to access using the new methods as they are not being actively updated by Apple (and possibly by Google if they actually code the 'app' used on AppleTV 2).

You could potentially use Airplay from an iPhone/iPad/Mac which supports Airplay. This would be over wi-fi or ethernet not Bluetooth.

There may be unofficial Android apps that can Airplay but I don;t have an Android device.

will using the homesharing feature work/....or am i dead in the water with this app

No, home sharing is for accessing your local iTunes library. As stated you can use airplay from an IOS device, or if you have a Mac that supports mirroring you can do that.

Use AirPlay to wirelessly stream content from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support

Use AirPlay to see your Mac screen on an HDTV - Apple Support

I am having the same problem.

I bought Apple TV3, but YouTube icon / channel is missing on the listing as well as on menu. One of the posts on google suggested that I should do a software update, tried doing that, but seems to be failing for some reason.

Please suggest. Thanks so much.

What firmware are you currently on?

Thanks for offering to help. How do I find that?

settings - general - about

Apple TV Software 6.2 (6698.99.50.31). Thanks again.

Ok, it would also be helpful to know the model, which can be found in that same section.

MD199HN/A. Thanks again.

OK. So you should be able to update to the latest. Is there an error that pops up?

If on wifi try connecting via Ethernet. If it persists you may need to do a restore
