Apple TV can act as a home hub for your HomeKit-compatible devices. A home hub offers you more ways to control and automate your home, even when you're not in it. However, the Apple TV itself doesn't directly create rooms for HomeKit. This has to be done via the Home app on an iOS or iPadOS device.

Here are the steps to add a room using the Home app:

Open the Home app on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.

Tap on the "Home" tab, then tap on the "Rooms" tab at the top.

Swipe to the left until you see the last room in your home, then tap the "List" button.

Tap on the "+" button in the top left corner.

Enter a name for your room, then tap "Save".

Once the room is added, it will be available across all your HomeKit-enabled devices that are signed into the same Apple ID, including your Apple TV.

Remember, you need to assign your HomeKit devices to a room in the Home app. The method for this may vary depending on the device.

Hi billyfrommeridian,


To make sure we're on the same page, are you referring to your Apple TV streaming device? Or the TV+ app?


If you're referring the the physical Apple TV and want to add a new user for a different person to set up a profile you can see that info here: Share Apple TV with multiple users - Apple Support


If you're trying to stream content from your Apple TV to your iPhone, that is not a feature it supports. You can however stream using AirPlay, content from your iPhone to your Apple TV. See info for using AirPlay with your Apple TV here:


If the issue persists, let us know some more details as to what you're trying to do and with which devices.


Cheers!
