AppleTV App is on my Samsung SmartTV but I can't log in on the tv

I have an AppleTV subscription that I enjoy on my Mac, however, and would like to log in to it using the AppleTV app that is loaded on my Samsung SmartTV. I'm unable to find instructions on how to do that. How can I use my subscription to AppleTV app on my SmartTV? Thanks in advance.

When you sign in to the Apple TV app on your smart TV, with an Apple ID account that has the Apple TV+ subscription or any other Apple TV app Channel subscription, then that service would automatically be available on that device. Signing in is enough.

Hello!


Will want to make sure first that your Samsung Smart TV is listed here.


If you are able to confirm that your Smart TV is compatible, then you will want to take a look and follow:
