add apps to AppleTV 4K Is there any way to add Apps to an AppleTV 4K newest version? I have been using Apps on my iPhone, YouTube for example, to play a video and then using AirPlay to display it on my AppleTV and television. It seems it would be easier to just add the YouTube, or other App, to my AppleTV. Is there any way to download Apps directly to the AppleTV?

No, tvOS needs its own version of apps, separately released by its developers, although that can happen on the same license/app ID as the iOS version.

You could ask those developers for a tvOS version. How to contact an app developer - Apple Support
