on the new Apple TV app in Catalina on my Mac computers, I see the following categories: RECENTLY ADDED, MOVIES, TV SHOWS, HOME VIDEOS


On my AppleTV 4k/Apple TV app, there is no HOME VIDEO category, yet inside my iPhotos app on AppleTV4k, there is a HOME MOVIES category, which the COMPUTER version of AppleTV seems to have mirrored.


I mention that, because the iPhotos and AppleTV on computers appear to share the same ecosystem.


Thoughts?

You need to turn on Home Sharing on the Mac. Where you turn in on depends on which version of Mac OS is installed on the computer. If you are using High Sierra or earlier, open iTunes and Turn on Home Sharing and leave iTunes on. Next, Home Sharing must also be turned on on the Apple TV. Finally both the Mac and Apple TV must be on the same network. Once you have that you can view your Home videos using the the Computer app on your Apple TV.
