Sharing Apple TV library download videos to iCloud

One of my favorite video is saved in the Apple TV library under downloaded videos. I want to upload it to my iCloud. How should I do it? It does not appear in the photos app.

iPhone 12

Videos in the Downloaded section of the TV app on iPhone are either:

  • videos synced from a computer to iPhone; presumably videos to which you have all the rights.
  • videos downloaded from a commercial streaming service or Apple media Store; videos for which you do not have distribution rights.


Shared videos through other sharing methods should not end up in the Apple TV app.


Syncing videos from a computer to Apple mobile is one way. Keep your originals safe on your computer.


Adding personal videos to iCloud Photos can be done on a computer (not mobile), either Mac or Windows PC.
