Since I cannot use a WebCam on my Samsung flatscreen TV, I want to know if there is a way that I can connect a WebCam to my Apple TV. I make videos that are a large part of my business. I have tried doing this using just my iPhone and my iPad with varying degrees of poor visibility. I don't own a desktop or laptop anymore.
Apple TV 4K, tvOS 13
No. The Apple TV does not suport webcams. Nor is there any app for it that could be used for recording video on it even if you could connect one to it. It a a streaming box, not a computer.
Not sure however, what difference in visibility a webcam would bring that would be better to the iPhone or iPad. The webcam would be tied to the Apple TV, where as the iPhone and iPad are more mobile and can be placed in pretty much any location and angle with the appropriate stands.
What are you recording? Most people that record things use the iPhone or iPad with much success.

In which case I suggest an iPhone stand you can use to keep the phone static: https://www.amazon.com/Cellphone-Bluetooth-Compatible-Streaming-Photography/dp/B07QJ41MKG/ref=dp_ob_title_ce
Thank you so much for your very fast response. I am aware that it is not a computer but I was hoping there was a way to set up a peripheral using Apple TV. I sell jewelry and much of what I do is online now (which is pretty much everybody else that is selling these days). Facebook LIVE is what I use but I no longer have the desktop, laptop, printer or webcam.
My iPhone is new and my iPad is a few years old but neither of them is clear throughout all of the taping.
Because I move around a lot on the video, both devices are always trying to fix the video when it gets fuzzy.
Thanks anyway, much appreciated.

I realize that that is what I am going to have to do unfortunately. Thank you so much for your help.
