Appendix A: Use FaceTime with Apple TV

Apple added the capability a couple of years ago to pair an iPhone or iPad as a camera with an Apple TV so you can use FaceTime (or other video conferencing apps that support this feature). In the intervening time, I’m not sure how many people adopted it. We tried it with a kid away at college, but it’s awkward, and the audio is poor. We found an iPhone or laptop were always the better choice.

However, I know some people will want to know how to set it up, and thus this appendix. I’ve also provided all the details throughout the book for how FaceTime for Apple TV appears, such as where the controls are and how to answer call using it.
