Select the YouTube app on the TV. This method will work if you have an Apple TV, a Smart TV with the YouTube app, as well as most TV streaming devices like the Amazon Fire Stick, Roku, and some other game consoles. Look for the white and red YouTube icon with a triangle on your TV's app screen. When the app launches, the Sign In screen opens.

If you don't have the app, you'll need to download it from your TV's app store. For example, if you have an Apple TV, you can download YouTube from the TV's App Store (the blue "A" icon on the home screen).

If you want to watch with subtitles, you'll need to enable it in your TV or streaming device's settings. For example, with Apple TV, go to Settings > General > Accessibility > Subtitles and Captioning and select an option.

Connect to the same Wi-Fi network that the TV uses. You can only project YouTube to your TV when your devices share the same wireless network.

Apply this method if you have a Smart TV that supports projection or AirPlay. Many TVs these days use both, and every Apple TV supports AirPlay.

If your TV doesn't support projection and AirPlay connectivity, you can still watch YouTube if you have a streaming device like Chromecast or Roku active and connected.

YouTube is usually pre-installed on iPhones, iPads, and most Android devices. If you've already deleted the app, you can still download it from the App Store or Play Store.

This method will not work on mobile web browsers. You need the YouTube app.

If you're using an iPhone or iPad and projecting instead of playing via AirPlay, tap AirPlay & Bluetooth devices to see what devices are available.

To turn subtitles on or off, tap your phone/tablet screen while the video is playing, tap the menu in the upper-right corner, and toggle the Captions option on or off .

Connect the computer to the same Wi-Fi network of the TV. You can only play YouTube to your TV if the devices are on the same wireless network.

Apply this method if you have a Smart TV or streaming device (such as Chromecast) that supports slideshows and you want to play YouTube from your computer through it. Most TVs today support projection, and Apple TV also supports AirPlay.

If your TV doesn't support slideshows but you have a Chromecast built-in (or another slideshow-enabled streaming device like a Roku), you can also watch YouTube.

With AirPlay-compatible Mac computers and Smart TVs (for example, Apple TV and many other modern Smart TV models), you can use Safari with AirPlay. Open YouTube in Safari, start a video, click the AirPlay icon (looks like a screen) on the control panel, and select TV.
