Finding and Installing the App

Start by launching your Apple TV and navigating to the App Store. You’ll recognize it by the familiar blue background with the white “A” icon. Once you’ve opened the App Store, select Search from the menu options on the right side of the screen.

Type “projector” into the search field. The Projector app should appear at the top of your search results, displaying its distinctive logo. Select the app to view its details page.

On the app’s page, you’ll see a white button with a cloud icon—this is the install button. Click it to begin downloading and installing the Projector app to your Apple TV. You have the option to launch the app immediately after installation, but you may want to organize your home screen first.

Organizing Your Home Screen

When apps are installed on Apple TV, they typically appear at the bottom of your app grid. If you’d like to move the Projector app to a more convenient location at the top of your screen, here’s how:

Return to your main Apple TV home screen where all your apps are displayed. Locate the Projector app (it will likely be at the bottom since it was just installed). Press and hold the select button on your remote until the app begins to shimmer slightly. While it’s shimmering, you can use your remote to move the app to your preferred position—ideally somewhere front and center for easy access.

Logging In and Getting Started

When you launch the Projector app for the first time, you’ll be prompted to log in with your credentials. The good news is that you only need to do this once. After your initial login, you’ll remain signed in permanently, making it effortless to access your home movies whenever you want to watch them on the big screen.

Now you’re all set to enjoy your personal video collection through the Projector app on your Apple TV!
