Answered by Tom Adger

You can customize the screen saver settings on your Apple TV. Here’s how you can do it:

1. Open the Settings app on your Apple TV. You can find it on the home screen.

2. Scroll down and select “General.”

3. In the General settings, choose “Screen Saver.” This is where you can make changes to your screen saver preferences.

4. Once you’re in the Screen Saver settings, you have a few options to customize your screen saver experience.

– Choosing a different screen saver category: Select the “Type” option, and you’ll see a list of different screen saver categories you can choose from. These categories include Aerial, Apple Photos, Home Sharing, My Photos, and My Music.

– Selecting a specific screen saver: If you choose the Apple Photos category, you can then select one of the photo-based screen saver themes. These themes include Slideshow, Ken Burns, Flip-up, Classic, and Shifting Tiles. Each theme offers a unique visual experience for your screen saver.

– Adjusting the timing: You can also adjust how long the screen saver will wait before activating. To do this, select the “Start After” option and choose the desired time interval.

– Randomize screen saver: If you want your screen saver to display different visuals each time it activates, you can enable the “Random Order” option. This will ensure that your screen saver doesn’t become repetitive and keeps things fresh.

– Previewing screen savers: To get a glimpse of how the screen saver will look, select the “Preview” option. This will display a preview of the currently selected screen saver.

Remember to save your settings by selecting “Done” when you’re finished customizing your screen saver preferences.

Customizing your Apple TV screen saver can add a personal touch and enhance your viewing experience. Whether you prefer stunning aerial footage, nostalgic family photos, or a dynamic slideshow, you can easily adjust the settings to suit your preferences.
