Can I set a default app for Apple TV to launch upon startup?

Hi. Is there a way to set a default app for Apple TV (device) to launch upon startup? For example, I'd like to launch Apple TV and automatically have the YouTube TV app open.

That is currently not supported.

However, you can set the Apple TV box to sleep (through Control Center) with the wanted app still open, then that app will also be front and ready when woken from sleep mode.

Else give feedback to Apple with your suggestion: Feedback - Apple TV - Apple
