About Switch Control on Apple TV

Switch Control is an assistive technology that lets you control Apple TV by clicking a keyboard key, mouse button or other control on a Bluetooth®-connected device as a switch. Use any of several methods to perform actions such as selecting, dragging and typing. You use a switch to select an item on the screen and then use the same (or different) switch to choose an action to perform on that item or location. The basic methods are:

Item scanning (default), which highlights different items on the screen until you select one
Manual selection, which lets you move from item to item on demand (requires multiple switches)

Whichever method you use, when you select an individual item (rather than a group), a menu appears so you can choose how to act on the selected item (press or drag).

If you use multiple switches, you can set up each switch to perform a specific action and customise your item selection method. For example, instead of automatically scanning screen items, you can set up switches to move to the next or previous item on demand.

You can adjust the behaviour of Switch Control in a variety of ways, to suit your specific needs and style.
