"You can stream music, movies, TV shows, photos, and other content from a computer, an iOS device, or an iPadOS device to your Apple TV. Both the device and Apple TV must be signed in with the same Apple ID, and both must have Home Sharing turned on.
Set up Home Sharing on Apple TV
- Open Settings
on Apple TV, then Go to Users and Accounts > Home Sharing. - Turn on Home Sharing, then enter your Apple ID and password.
- Configure a Mac with macOS Catalina or later: On your Mac, choose Apple menu > System Preferences, then click Sharing. Select the Media Sharing checkbox, then select the Home Sharing checkbox and enter your Apple ID and password.
- Once you’ve configured all of your devices with the same Apple ID, open the Computers app
on the Apple TV Home screen.
Libraries from your shared devices appear, and you can view or play content from any library."
