How can I add a user to my Apple TV 4K?

I am trying to add a user to my Apple TV. I have done it through bluetooth and all it says is add ing user and does nothing else. I have tried it manually and it says the the password and email don't match. I have changed to password and it still does nothing.

Each added user will need to have their own validated Apple Account. Have them create an account first, if they don’t have one yet. How to create a new Apple Account - Apple Support. It only works for users that Apple knows about.


Add or remove user profiles on Apple TV - Apple Support

Bluetooth is not involved in this.


Added users are not automatically sharing in Family Sharing. That is a separate setup, if you want that too.

Setting up Family Sharing has to be done on the ‘organizer’s’ Apple device (iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, or Mac).
