    2. In the Application Switcher, you can see all the active apps in the background.

Now check if the AirPlay is working fine.

    Check Your Internet Connection

    The primary requirement of an AirPlay is to have a stable WiFi connection. So you can check the speed of the internet using third-party websites like fast.com. If it records a lesser internet speed, you can try to power cycle the router to establish a connection with the internet service provider. Now, check the speed of the internet again. If the issue is still not fixed, you will have to contact the ISP to get this issue fixed. And also, ensure to disconnect all the other devices from the WiFi network using AirPlay.

    3. Go to the App Store on the Apple device and reinstall the YouTube app.

    Check the DNS Settings and Apple TV’s IP

    1. Turn on the Apple TV, and go to the settings option.

    2. Navigate to the General Tab, and select the Network tab.

    3. Select the WiFi or Ethernet tab, and ensure all the settings are correct.

    4. Now, set the configure IP and DNS settings to Automatic.

    5. Once done, restart the Apple TV, try using the YouTube app, and check if it is working fine.

    Reset Apple TV

    The last thing that can be done to fix the issue is to try resetting the Apple TV. But, be aware that all the data will be erased when we reset the Apple TV.

    1. Turn on the Apple TV and go to the Home screen.

    2. Navigate to the Settings menu, and click on the Systems tab.

    3. Scroll down and locate the Reset option.
