So I am watching a video on YouTube via Safari and when I hit the Airplay button and select my Apple TV nothing happens. It works from my iPhone/iPad but not my Mac.
Any suggestions?
MacBook Air, OS X El Capitan (10.11.1)
I have a Macbook Pro and Apple TV 4 and facing the same problem

It must be a Safari issue because I just tried it with a gen 2 Apple TV and it doesn't work either despite working in the past.
That’s good to know because I was about to call Apple Support about it. Maybe I should still give them a call
OK so I have a call scheduled with Support in the morning and I’ll let you know how it goes
OK spoke to Support and they suggested trying the same with Vimeo and that worked fine so they figured it’s something to do with Youtube. Said give Youtube some time to figure out Airplay on the new Apple TV 4
Same problem here on Apple TV 3rd generation from my MacBook Pro (13-inch, Mid 2010) and the latest versions of Mac OS and Safari...
Right now Airplay from iTunes is working, but NOT WORKING from Youtube on Safari...
For info: my MacBook Pro 2010 is having Airplay usually working ONLY from Youtube on Safari and from iTunes (Airplay for screensharing is working from 2011 version).
I have the same issue, tried rebooting everithing, router, mac and apple tv, tried restoring router and safari to factory settings, nothing worked, then tried the using airplay with vimeo and worked perfectly, so i guess its a problem with youtube... almost made a clean install of el cap on the mac for this problem... Using apple tv 3erd gen, macbook pro 2010 13 inch el capitan 10.11.1.
I can confirm this is a YouTube problem, not Apple. It works with Vimeo.
Sadly, this was actually working in the first few days after the ATV4 came out. It has only recently stopped working on YouTube but continues to work on Vimeo.
Fingers crossed they will fix it, but I'm not hopeful.
It was definitely working for YouTube sometime in the last month – in fact, I had to disable Flash for YouTube to get the default player to run with access to the AirPlay button. I hadn't used it since then until today. I started attributing it to other changes in my system configuration, so it's good know it's most likely a YouTube issue. Vimeo seems to work fine, as others have mentioned.
Seems to be working now!
Working here too, and it wasn't yesterday. Glad it's back anyway.
yep, it's back, i realized it was back a couple days ago...
This issue has now been fixed! I wasn't hopeful, but I was wrong. Thank you, Google.
