Other hotel guests switch on my Apple TV accidentally

Hi, im staying in a hotel now and all guests share the same Wifi.


My apple tv is switched on occasionally by other guests. It can be quite scary sometimes. Is there anyway only to stop others except me from turning on the Apple TV? Thanks.

Apple TV 4K, tvOS 15

On the Apple TV, I would first try: Settings > AirPlay and HomeKit > Allow Access: Only People Sharing This Home.


This should restrict access based on a user's Apple ID (presumably just your own). On my own private home WiFi, I usually leave in set to "Anyone on the Same Network".
