Talk to your Apple TV
Siri makes interacting with Apple TV easy, fun and informative. You can search for movies, TV shows, music or apps; find actors or directors you like; control playback; open your apps; and even ask about sport, weather and stocks — no matter what’s happening onscreen.
Siri doesn’t talk back to you on Apple TV like it does on iPhone and other devices, but it’ll carry out your request and display the results onscreen.

Siri can recognise the voice associated with the same Apple ID you use on Apple TV and another Apple device. You can set up Recognise My Voice for up to six users on Apple TV.
