Just started with NOW TV and I'd like to see some YouTube videos which I normally see on my desktop on my telly. I'm a rookie at this and don't know how to apply the quick option so any help would be good.
Thanks

@Anonymous User if you load Youtube in Chrome you can actually just simply click the cast button in the video and cast to your Now TV box, it will play. No need to over complicate things 🙂

Welcome to the forum.
Rather than entering URLs it would be easier to add the videos you are interested in to a subscription playlist on your YouTube account, and then sign into the YouTube app on the box and access your playlists on there (from the Library option on the Menu).
Alternately you can pair the YouTube app on the box with your computer, tablet or mobile and then send a video you want to watch from the computer, tablet or mobile straight to the box where it will play on your TV. Depending on your setup you'll either see the cast button straight away or you'll need to manually pair the app on the NOW TV box. See here for instructions

Hi @Anonymous User
@Andy , it's correct what he has said above would be the best method.
I would add though that a YouTube account these days is actually a Google account. If you have an android phone, you will already have a Google account that you can use with the YouTube app on the box. Once you've logged into the YouTube app on the box. You will also be able to play back all your Google play movies and TV purchases using the YouTube app
You login to the YouTube app on the box by going to the sign in option in the app. This will bring a code up on the TV screen which you need to enter into the following webpage
https://www.youtube.com/activate
Upon going to the web page above. If you're not logged in to your Google account. You will be asked to sign in
