I’m currently a Google Chromecast user and thinking about getting an Apple TV.

What I currently like to do, is to open the YouTube App on my phone to check for new videos and cast it to the TV when there is something I like to watch.

Is this possible?

    This works for YouTube but not for YouTubeTV, correct? I find it not ideal that the iPhone Remote app can turn on AppleTV and TV, and sure I can navigate to the YouTubeTV app on the ATV, start a show, etc. However, once the iPhone Remote app transitions to the Dynamic Island or Lock Screen, there are 2 options: select remote and it’s back to navigating on the ATV (which works), or selecting YTTV will open the YTTV app on my phone, but that’s a second instance of YTTV on my phone with a separate stream. Ideally at that point via this workflow I would love the YTTV app on my phone to directly control the YTTV on the ATV. Does this make sense ?
