Apple TV+ family share

I have been added to the Family Share on my husband's Apple TV subscription. We did this by the close proximity set up. I can see that I've been added, but I can't set up my profile on our non-Apple TV as there is no "add user" when I click on his user name. Help! :D

When in a Family Sharing group, then each group member signs in using their own Apple ID account.


Add additional Apple ID accounts to the Apple TV app - Apple Support

* Select the user profile at the top of the sidebar, then select Add New User.

Ok. This time in smaller steps:

  1. Verify that your smart TV has the Apple TV app. Launch the app.
  2. Navigate up to the Home icon in the upper left corner, so that the sidebar expands.
  3. Navigate up to the (currently active) user listed at the top. Click it. A pop-up window should show the registered user(s) and an option to add a new user account.
  4. This users listing is also where you can later switch between active users.


or:

  1. Verify that your smart TV has the Apple TV app. Launch the app.
  2. Navigate up to the Home icon in the upper left corner, so that the sidebar expands.
  3. Navigate down to Settings. Then navigate to Accounts. Then navigate to Add New Account.
  4. For switching between accounts, see #4 above.


Good luck!
