4. Other content in the Apple TV app will have other sharing rules. Movie purchases from the iTunes Store on one the the member accounts, can be shared if Purchase Sharing is additionally turned on for the group. Access those shared purchases is done through the Library, then Family Sharing, then group member name, then title. If you can't find your family's shared content - Apple Support. Shared purchases can’t be accessed directly.

What types of content can I share with my family? - Apple Support

The Apple TV box (4th generation or later) and the Apple TV app on third party devices will allow for multiple accounts on those devices, among which you may switch as needed on that device, for personalization of the viewing experience. It does require existing and valid Apple ID accounts.

On iPhone, iPad, or iPod Touch, you can’t add multiple accounts.

To set up Family Sharing, do so on an iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch, or Mac — before adding multiple accounts to one device.
