You may want to connect a Bluetooth® device to your Apple TV—such as an MFi-certified (made for iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad) game controller, a Sony PlayStation–compatible controller, a Microsoft Xbox–compatible controller, Bluetooth headphones, a wireless keyboard, or another accessory.
Apple AirPods connect automatically to Apple TV if they’re associated with the same Apple ID. See Set up your Apple ID on Apple TV.

For other Bluetooth devices, select the device in the Other Devices list.
