Apple TV photo and video channels

Home Video Channel

Turn your iCloud Photos library into calm, continuous Apple TV channels for family videos, old trips, everyday moments, holidays, and ambient playback.

Pick a channel. Press play.

Your own memories, built for the biggest screen in the house.

Home Video Channel is a lean-back tvOS app for watching Photos albums and smart channels without manually browsing one item at a time.

Continuous playback

Play albums, videos, photos, recent items, holidays, years, places, favorites, review queues, and unwatched channels.

Simple remote controls

Use the Siri Remote to pause, skip, favorite, add to review, hide from app playback, shuffle, repeat, or adjust sound.

Designed for TV

Portrait photos and videos can stay full-screen with blurred backgrounds, subtle looks, frame overlays, and ambient sound.

Privacy first

Your Photos library stays yours.

The app uses Apple Photos access on your Apple TV after permission is granted. It does not delete, edit, sell, or upload your Photos library to developer-operated servers.

  • No developer account or custom login required.
  • No third-party advertising or analytics SDKs.
  • App-owned favorites, hidden items, review queue, and watch history are stored as lightweight local state.
  • Purchases are handled through Apple StoreKit and the App Store.
