Dolby atmos

I just upgraded to Apple TV 4K and got two homepods. I set all three up and paired the homepods and selected home theater audio on the pop up on my phone. All have current software. The problem I’m having is there is no Dolby atmos option in the audio format, just change format. When I change format to off the only options it gives me is 5.1 and stereo. Can someone please help?

Apple TV 4K, tvOS 14

My apologies, I did read the article, however I didn’t read the entire thing. I red further after you suggested the article and it states that with the new os it does support the Dolby atmos option automatically and will not show up in the the video and audio settings in the Apple TV settings and will match the supported content. Thanks for the input!
