How do you authorize a computer for Apple TV?
Authorizing a computer for Apple TV is a straightforward process that allows you to stream content from your computer to your television. This feature is particularly useful for those who have a large library of movies, TV shows, and music stored on their computer and want to enjoy them on a larger screen. In this article, we will guide you through the steps to authorize your computer for Apple TV.
Firstly, ensure that your Apple TV and computer are both connected to the same Wi-Fi network. This is essential for the authorization process to work seamlessly. Once your devices are connected, follow these steps:
1.
Open the Apple TV app on your computer. If you haven’t installed the app yet, you can download it from the Mac App Store or the Microsoft Store for Windows.
2.
Sign in to your Apple ID. You will need to enter your Apple ID credentials to proceed with the authorization process.

Once authorized, your computer will appear under the “Devices” section in the Apple TV app. You can now start streaming content from your computer to your Apple TV.
It’s important to note that the authorization process is tied to your Apple ID. If you sign out of your Apple ID on your computer, you will need to sign in again and reauthorize your computer for Apple TV.
Additionally, if you ever need to deauthorize your computer for any reason, you can do so by following these steps:
