While AirPlay works automatically if your Apple TV and iOS device are on the same network, this YouTube sharing feature requires a one time pairing process. To pair your iOS device to your TV or console, you have to go into the settings, tap on pair, and you&#8217;ll be given a code to enter. To get the code, you need to go into your console or TV and select the pairing feature.<\/p>\n<p>Once you&#8217;ve paired your devices, you&#8217;ll notice a blue screen icon at the top right. This indicates that you&#8217;re connected to the TV and anything video you tap on your device will be played on the TV or console instead. You can queue up videos so you have a continuous playlist. You can also jump into other apps while the video continues playing on the TV.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-36835\" title=\"youtube pairing\" src=\"https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/sft\/articles\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2013\/03\/2013-02-28-14.57.58.png\" alt=\"youtube pairing\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2013\/03\/2013-02-28-14.57.58.png 600w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2013\/03\/2013-02-28-14.57.58-300x225.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>In addition to adding TV and console controls, the updated YouTube for iOS connects with the <a title=\"youtube capture\" href=\"http:\/\/youtube-capture.en.softonic.com\/iphone\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">YouTube Capture<\/a> app and offers better playback when on poor network connections.<\/p>\n<p>You can download the latest version of YouTube for iOS <a title=\"youtube ios\" href=\"http:\/\/youtube.en.softonic.com\/iphone\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Android users have had this feature for a while but iOS users finally have the ability to send YouTube videos from their devices to a smart TV, Xbox 360, or PS3.
