Home pod is not seen by my apple tv

HomePod Minis cannot be set up for home theater audio. That requires its bigger sibling.

You can add HomePod Minis, but not as default speakers. Only as ad hoc temporary speakers, similar to headphones.

Can you set a HomePod mini stereo pair as the default speakers for a Apple TV HD? - Apple Community

Access audio controls - Use tvOS Control Center on Apple TV - Apple TV User Guide - Apple Support

Hi Jksomers33,

We understand that your Apple TV isn't detecting the pair of HomePod mini speakers you set up. To clarify, are the HomePods and the Apple TV all set up in the Home app? If so, we can use the article below to isolate the problem a bit more.

Use AirPlay to stream audio

If these steps don't resolve the issue, we'll want to make sure that all of the devices are currently connected to the same Wi-Fi network.

Let us know what you find!
