You can use accessibility shortcuts to quickly turn accessibility features on or off on Apple TV 4K, without having to open Settings. After you add an accessibility shortcut, you can turn it on or off with the remote or from the Accessibility button in Control Center. With only one shortcut enabled, it turns on or off right away. With more than one, you’ll see a list of your shortcuts instead, and you decide the order they show up in.
Here’s how to add accessibility shortcuts on your Apple TV 4K, how to use them, and how to change their order.
Add accessibility shortcuts
- Go to Settings on Apple TV 4K.
- Go to Accessibility > Accessibility Shortcut and select a shortcut to include it in or remove it from your accessibility shortcut list.
Use your accessibility shortcut
To launch an accessibility shortcut on Apple TV 4K, you can do either of the following:
- Press the Back button or the Menu button on your remote three times.
If you only have one shortcut enabled, it turns on or off immediately.
If you have more than one shortcut enabled, a list of your shortcuts appears; select a shortcut to turn it on or off.
- Press and hold the TV button on your remote to open Control Center, select the Accessibility button, then select a shortcut to turn it on or off.
You can also select Go to Settings to access the Accessibility Shortcut menu.
Edit the order of accessibility shortcuts
- Go to Settings on Apple TV 4K.
- Go to Accessibility > Accessibility Shortcut and then select Edit.
- Select the Move button next to the shortcut you want to move.
- Use the clickpad center or touch surface on your remote to drag the shortcut to a new location in the list and then press the clickpad center or touch surface to place it.
