With your AirPods already paired to your Apple ID, you can use a handy shortcut to quickly connect.

(With AirPods Max, take them out of the smart case, then press and hold the noise control button until the status light starts flashing white.)<\/p>\n<p>You should now see your AirPods appear under the \u201cOther Devices\u201d heading in the list of Bluetooth connections on-screen.

It\u2019s unclear whether interference was the cause, but the audio was patchy at best. Fortunately, YouTube videos remained in sync with the audio despite this. Your mileage may vary depending on the AirPods and the Apple TV you have, any wireless interference nearby, and the position of your Apple TV relative to your AirPods.<\/p>\n<p>If you have similar problems, you might want to try moving your Apple TV to a position that\u2019s more conducive for streaming wireless audio. It seems that placing it behind the TV or deep in an entertainment unit is a bad idea. The Apple TV 4K should perform better due to its more modern system-on-chip.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"More_Than_a_Streaming_Box\"><\/span>More Than a Streaming Box<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The Apple TV can do more than simply stream video.
