How to Activate YouTube on Apple TV

There’s no doubt that YouTube is an amazing platform that offers a wide range of shows. You can find pretty much anything on YouTube ranging from action and entertainment to family-friendly educational content.

But all of these shows are even better when they are on the big screen like your big 34 inch LED TV. Watching a YouTube show on your gigantic TV screen definitely makes the experience much better when compared to a computer or laptop screen.

Even if you don’t have a Smart TV, you can use devices like Roku, Kodi, Xbox One, PS3 and many more to use your regular TV to watch YouTube. However, these devices require you to sign in and activate your YouTube before you can watch your favorites shows on the TV.
