Control Centre gives you quick access to settings and controls for switching users, playing music, accessing HomeKit cameras and scenes, putting Apple TV to sleep and more. You can quickly switch between users in Control Centre so that each person gets their own unique Up Next video list, video and music collections, Game Center data and recommendations.
On the Siri Remote, press and hold the TV button .
When you switch to another user, the previous user is signed out, and the TV and Music apps refresh with the new user’s unique Up Next lists, video or music collections, and recommendations.
Note: Switching users does not change the Photos app or other settings associated with an iCloud account.
In Control Centre, you can activate HomeKit accessories and view home cameras that you’ve set up in the Home app on an iOS, iPadOS or macOS (Catalina or later) device signed in with the same Apple ID.
For example, you can view video from supported security cameras and receive a notification when a supported doorbell camera detects someone at your door. You get a personal notification if HomeKit recognises the person from your Photos library.
You can also run scenes you’ve created in the Home app on an iOS, iPadOS or macOS (Catalina or later) device. Scenes let you control multiple accessories in your home. For example, you can create a Watching TV scene that dims the lights and sets the temperature.
Press and hold the TV button on the Siri Remote to open Control Centre.
Ask Siri. On the Siri Remote, press and hold the Siri button , then say “Show me” followed by the name of the camera in the Home app:
“Show me the front garden camera”
Note: Scenes involving secure HomeKit-compatible products such as door locks, motorised doors or windows, security systems and garage doors are not controllable by Apple TV. You must use an iOS, iPadOS, macOS or watchOS device to control those devices.
To learn more about creating scenes and setting up cameras in the Home app, see the iPhone User Guide.
