[![YouTube for iOS adds sendtoTV, lets you skip the media hub](http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2013/02/youtube-ios-send-to-tv.jpg) ](http://www.engadget.com/2013/02/28/youtube-for-ios-adds-send-to-tv-pairing/)
Those running the dedicated YouTube app for iOS have had TV streaming for awhile... as long as there was an [Apple TV in between](http://www.engadget.com/2012/12/04/youtube-app-ios-update-airplay-streaming-iphone-5/). Google's video division is cutting out that middleman with its newly available app update. Similar to what we've seen in the Android software, iOS device owners can at last [pair directly with some TVs](http://www.engadget.com/2013/01/03/google-youtube-android-tv-pairing/), the PS3 or Xbox 360 to play and queue videos, even if there's multiple iPads and iPhones jockeying for attention on the same WiFi network. If your set is left out, YouTube still offers reasons to upgrade -- there's a connection to [YouTube Capture](http://www.engadget.com/tag/YouTubeCapture/) for recording, and better playback on a pokey WiFi connection. As long as you're at least curious about TV streaming beyond Apple's set-top box, it's arguably worth trying.
