When you’re playing a movie, TV show, podcast episode, or music on Apple TV 4K, there are a number of Siri queries you can use to control playback. For example, you can ask Siri to “Skip forward 90 seconds” or “Turn on French subtitles.” Siri understands a wide variety of phrases and search terms beyond those, too.
Quick tip: Beyond what’s listed below, Siri understands a wide variety of phrases and search terms, so try different queries to see what you can find.
Control video playback
Siri: Press and hold the Siri/Search button on your remote, then say something like:

- “Pause this”
- “Play from the beginning”
- “Skip forward 90 seconds”
- “Jump back 10 minutes”
