You must have a "smart" TV that has a You Tube app on it.
My Sharp smart TV does along with other apps that I never actually use.

As jhy1978 says there is currently not a You Tube channel on U-verse TV.
As skeeterintexas says if you have a smart TV, or any other smart device it probably will have You Tube access. If you have a TV with a USB port you can connect a Google Chromecast or other such device.
My personal choice is oufanindallas suggestion of the computer. Fastest & easiest is if you have HDMI output on your computer. Plug and play. If you do not have HDMI, it is a little more complicated, but still doable. Chsck out this site - http://sewelldirect.com/articles/PCtoTV.aspx

But he asked about watching it via AT&T. I know, i know that it;'s not currently available directly via his AT&T equipment but it could be possible, at some point. We have been having a nice discussion about internet access via the STB's here.
My wife would probably love to view youtube videos from her easy chair but wouldn't it be much easier to tell her to press Menu>Interactive>Youtube than tell her to change the TV input (via the UV remote, which is hit or miss), lay down the U-Verse remote, pick up the (Smart) Bluray remote, power it up and then arrow down to youtube?

Not that I'm planning on switching, but Grande here in Texas now has Netflix via TiVo.
