Control video playback in the Apple TV app

For more information on playback options, see Turn on subtitles and closed captioning, and Choose an audio language or audio track (if available).

During playback, use the smart TV or device remote to do any of the following:

• Skip backward or forward 10 seconds: Press the left or right button to skip backward or forward. Press again to skip another 10 seconds.
