Watch Videos on Apple TV

You can watch any videos with full playback control (pause, rewind, fast forward, skip). Watch a single video or all the videos in a category or collection.

(Note: Your remote may not look the same as the Siri remote used in this tutorial.)

 Find and Watch a Video

Select Video Categories from the top navigation of the home screen to see the available video categories.

  • On your Siri Remote, swipe the Touch surface to navigate through the categories. The image of the highlighted category appears slightly larger than the rest.

  • Press the Touch surface to select the highlighted category.

Some videos can be found in multiple categories. For example, the video The Prodigal Returns may be found in Movies, Family, and Teenagers.

Select the Shuffle option to play all the videos in a category continuously in random order.

Each category page contains multiple collections. Each row represents a video collection. The name of the collection appears above the row.

  • Swipe Up or Down to navigate to a different collection.

  • Swipe Left or Right to scroll through the videos in a collection.

There are two ways to watch all the videos in a collection:

  • Select the Play All option to play all the videos in the collection, starting with the first one.

  • Select the Shuffle option to play all of the videos in the collection in random order.

Note: Playback will stop when all the videos in the collection have been played.

Press the Touch surface to select a video and show the Video Details screen.

Select one of the following actions:

  • Play: Play the video from the beginning.

  • Play All: Play all the videos in the collection, starting with the current one. Playback will stop when all the videos in the collection have been played.

  • Resume: Resume the video from where you previously left off watching.

The row below the Video Details screen shows other videos in the current collection. Swipe Down to enter the collection row and Up to return to the Video Details screen.

When a video is playing, you can control the playback with your Siri remote as follows:

  • Play/Pause: Pause the video. Press the button again to resume. You can also press the Touch surface near the middle to play or pause.
