Disable SharePlay Completely

How do you turn off SharePlay completely. Every time I'm on a FaceTime call every episode stops and asks me it'll I want to SharePlay. It's driving me insane and my daughter has to interrupt every 8 minutes when a Bluey episode ends. I've turned off SharePlay under FaceTime on my phone and tablet and turned off shared with you on the Apple TV. I just want it to stop asking me every time a new episode starts.

SharePlay is always started by a FaceTime call on iPhone or iPad or Mac. If none of the Apple TV users are doing a FaceTime call at that time, then you shouldn’t be seeing anything on SharePlay.

SharePlay can be deactivated on iPhone and iPad if you never (or almost never) want it. Settings﹥FaceTime﹥SharePlay﹥SharePlay﹥Off.

SharePlay initiated by someone else (i.e. an invite to you) can be ignored by turning a setting off on Apple TV. Settings﹥Users and Accounts﹥[username]﹥Shared with you﹥Off.
