Transfer a FaceTime call between Apple TV 4K and another device

You can start a FaceTime call on your iPhone or iPad, then hand it off to the larger screen on Apple TV 4K when you’re signed in with the same Apple Account. You can also switch the call back to your iPhone or iPad from Apple TV 4K.

  1. Start a FaceTime call on an iPhone or iPad.

    Apple TV 4K detects when a FaceTime call is in progress and a notification may appear with the suggestion “Use [device name] to move to TV.”

  2. Do any of the following:

    • On iPhone or iPad, tap Move (next to the Move to TV notification that appears).

    • On iPhone or iPad, tap the Speaker button, then choose your Apple TV 4K from the list.

    • Press and hold the TV button on the remote to open Control Center, select the FaceTime tab, then select your iPhone or iPad.

    • Open the FaceTime app on Apple TV 4K, then select your profile on the Continuity Camera screen.

  3. Position your iPhone or iPad near the TV in landscape orientation so that the rear camera (iPhone) or front camera (iPad) faces you and you’re satisfied with the way you appear in the preview on your TV screen.

    A short countdown begins automatically when the iPhone or iPad is in landscape orientation and still. When the countdown ends, the call moves to the Apple TV 4K.

    You can also press the Play/Pause button on the remote to skip this step.

    On the iPhone or iPad, a banner appears confirming that the Apple TV 4K is using the device as a Continuity Camera.

  4. On the iPhone or iPad, do any of the following:

    • Pause the call: Tap Pause.

    • Switch the call back to iPhone or iPad: Tap Switch to iPhone or Switch to iPad.

    • End the call: Tap End Call and Disconnect.
