Use any of several methods to perform actions such as selecting, dragging, and typing. You use a switch to select an item on the screen, and then use the same (or different) switch to choose an action to perform on that item or location. The basic methods are:
Item scanning (default), which highlights different items on the screen until you select one Manual selection, which lets you move from item to item on demand (requires multiple switches) Whichever method you use, when you select an individual item (rather than a group), a menu appears so you can choose how to act on the selected item (press or drag). If you use multiple switches, you can set up each switch to perform a specific action and customize your item selection method. For example, instead of automatically scanning screen items, you can set up switches to move to the next or previous item on demand. You can adjust the behavior of Switch Control in a variety of ways, to suit your specific needs and style. Turn on Switch Control on Apple TV To connect a switch to Apple TV, you can connect an external Bluetooth device such as a keyboard, or you can use the platform-switching feature that forwards switch actions from another device such as an iPhone or a Mac. On an iOS or iPadOS device, tap the screen to trigger the switch. (On iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus or later, force-click the screen.) https://apdreview.apple.com/codenames/appletv/en.lproj/static Page 204 of 223 Apple Proprietary and Confidential Apple TV User Guide Add a switch and choose its action In Settings on Apple TV, go to Accessibility > Switch Control > Switches, select Add New Switch, then follow the onscreen instructions. If you add only one switch, it functions as the Select Item switch by default. If youre adding an external switch, you need to connect it to Apple TV before it will appear in the list of available switches. Follow the instructions that came with the switch. If the switch connects using Bluetooth, you need to pair the device with Apple TV. For more information, see
