Connect Bluetooth devices to Apple TV
You may want to connect a Bluetooth® device to your Apple TV — such as an MFi-certified (made for iPhone and iPad) gaming controller, a Sony PlayStation–compatible controller, a Microsoft Xbox–compatible controller, Bluetooth headphones, a wireless keyboard or another accessory.
Apple AirPods connect automatically to Apple TV if they’re associated with the same Apple ID. See Set up your Apple ID on Apple TV.
Find and connect to a nearby Bluetooth device.
Refer to the device’s instructions to set the device to Discoverable.
If you’re connecting a gaming controller: Press and hold the TV button on the Siri Remote to open Control Centre, select the General Settings tab , then select the Gaming Controllers button and select a gaming controller from the list.
For other Bluetooth devices: Open Settings on Apple TV, go to Remotes and Devices > Bluetooth, then select the device in the Other Devices list.
For more information, see the Apple Support article Use Bluetooth accessories with your Apple TV.
