## Camcorder for Apple TV

The Apple TV app shows your uploads and the channels you follow, with the same four sections as the phone's feed. Open a film and it plays with its music.

## Linking your TV

A TV shows a code. Scan it with your phone's camera, and on the card *Show your channels on this TV?*, tap **Show**. Whoever is watching that TV will see your channels, and it stays up to date.

A TV signed in to the same Apple Account finds your channels without a code.

The list of who you follow is stored sealed, so the host cannot read it. A linked TV can read it and change nothing.

## Profiles

Several people can link one TV. Tap the name at the top left of the TV's home to switch, take someone off, or **Add Profile**. A PIN channel asks once on the TV, with **Enter the PIN**.

## Sending your film to a TV

Turn on Screen Mirroring to a TV from Control Center. Open a film on your phone: the film fills the TV's height, and the phone keeps every control. Its screen says *Tap or scrub for controls*. The camera's picture never goes to the TV. Between films the TV says *Choose a film on your phone*.

## TV sound sync

Some TVs delay their sound by themselves, so lips and voices come apart. On those TVs the app offers **Calibrate sound**.

Hold your phone up facing the TV, like taking a photo of it, and make sure the TV's volume is up. It watches for a flash and listens for a beep. The app then holds the picture back to meet the sound.

Use − and + to fine-tune it while the film plays, until the lips match the voices. **Auto calibrate** measures again. The setting is kept for that TV. While a command travels to a delayed TV, the phone shows a ring and waits.

An Apple TV does not need this.
