Will the Apple TV connect to a personal hotspot? I am using my iPhone 12 on AT&T to create a hotspot. When attempting to connect to the hotspot on my Apple TV, I get a message that says “unable to join network.” It does not even prompt me to type in a password.
I had someone try connecting their phone to my hotspot and it worked.
Is there something else I need to do?

To Apple TV, a hotspot is a Wi-Fi network just like any other. If it can’t join, then the issue is with that hotspot.
Your mobile provider may object to such use, and act accordingly, but your Apple TV would be unaware of how this new Wi-Fi networks connects further (4G/5G).
