You can watch YouTube on your Apple TV. However, YouTube may not always work perfectly, leaving you unable to watch videos. This article explains how you can fix if you experience issues with the YouTube app on your Apple TV.

You may receive one of the error messages:

  • Connection lost.
  • Something went wrong.
  • This video is unavailable.

This article helps you troubleshoot these issues. Please note that YouTube has two similar apps:

  • YouTube App (the standard YouTube) and,
  • YouTube TV App (YouTube’s premium service at a cost of $49.99 per month).

The tips described below will address both of the apps.

Most of the issues can be broken down into three basic categories:

  • A software glitch.
  • An update issue.
  • A network connectivity issue.

Please try each step below until your issue is fixed:

1. Restart the YouTube app. Please note that you can only close and open the app on the Apple TV 4K and Apple TV HD. If your device is the Apple TV first, second or third generation, then go to step # 2. Here is how:

  • Then you can return to the main screen by pressing the Home button.
  • Now try to open YouTube.

2. Restart your Apple TV. Here is how:

  • On your Apple TV 4K or Apple TV HD, go to Settings > System > Restart.

You can also manually restart your Apple TV:

  • Unplug the power cable.
  • Wait 10 seconds.
  • Plug the power cable back in.

And lastly, you can use your remote to restart your Apple TV:

  • Siri Remote or Apple TV Remote: Press and hold the Menu and Home buttons together until the Apple TV status light flashes.
  • White or Aluminum Remote: Press and hold the Menu and Down buttons until the status light flashes.

Then, try YouTube again.

3. Update your Apple TV. Make sure that your Apple TV is running the latest firmware.

  • Apple TV (3rd generation): Go to Settings > General > Software Updates > Update Software. Again if there is an update available, update your Apple TV.
