Explore Watch Now in the Apple TV app on Mac

1. Open the Apple TV app  on your Mac.

2. Click Watch Now in the sidebar.

   The Up Next row displays content you’ve added to Up Next, as well as content you’ve started watching but haven’t finished.

1. In the Apple TV app  on your Mac, click an item in the Watch Now window.

2. Do any of the following:

   • Play the item: Click Play. (The Play button is available for free content, content you’ve already purchased, or content on Apple TV channels you subscribe to.)

   • Subscribe to Apple TV+: Click the subscription button, then follow the onscreen instructions.

   • Subscribe to an Apple TV channel: Click the subscription button, then follow the onscreen instructions.

1. While playing an MLS match or Friday Night Baseball game in the Apple TV app  on your Mac, move the pointer over the viewing area to show playback controls.

2. Select the Audio Options button in the lower-right corner, then choose an audio track option from the pop-up menu:

   • TV: Play the audio commentary from the TV broadcast.

   • Away Team’s Local Radio: Listen to the away team’s local radio broadcast while watching the game (this option is only available for Friday Night Baseball games).

   • Home Team’s Local Radio: Listen to the home team’s radio broadcast while watching the match or game.

The Up Next row displays content you’ve already started to watch or plan to watch.

• In the Watch Now window of the Apple TV app  on your Mac, scroll to the Up Next row to see shows you’ve recently watched or added to Up Next. To see additional items, move the pointer to the beginning or end of the row, then click the arrow that appears.

  Shows and movies appear in the order you’re most likely to want to watch them. For example, when a TV episode is finished, the next episode automatically appears in Up Next. And if you’ve already caught up on a show, whenever a new episode becomes available, it immediately appears in the beginning of the Up Next row.

  If you have an iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, or Apple TV and are signed in with the same Apple ID you use for the Mac, your viewing progress and episode selection stay in sync in the Apple TV app on those devices. For example, you can start watching a show on your Mac and finish watching it on your iPad, or vice versa.
