It also lets you stream photos independent of an iCloud account. Setting up the Photos this way gives you more control as to what shows up there. If you’re not a big fan of Photos, you can set it to a Dropbox folder or even a shared folder on your network. You’ll then be able to pick from any album in the Photos app or another folder on your Mac. After you turn Home Sharing on, that same menu has another option for Choose Photos to Share with Apple TV. You’ll put in your Apple ID and authenticate. Head on over to File > Home Sharing >Turn On Home Sharing. If you want to share photos, it makes more sense to do it this way. The pictures will only stream from one iCloud account. I don’t think most people reflect on this privacy issue. You’ll be okay if you carefully curate what’s in your iCloud library. Many embarrassing stories start this way. I think this is a horrible idea because sometimes pictures are saved to iCloud that you might not want others to see. These are the pictures from iCloud Photo Sharing or My Photo Stream. These are like the photos from previous generations of the Apple TV. If you want photos you took to show up, it’s a bit involved. When you’re in the Screensaver settings, you have a few options for what images appear. To immediately start the screensaver, double-click the menu button while you’re at the home screen. I have no idea why Apple skipped the hour mark for this option. These options match the macOS for the most part: 2 minutes, 5 minutes, 10 minutes, 15 minutes, 30 minutes, or Never. That’s how long it will take before the screensaver kicks in. In the Settings > General screen, select Screensaver and Start After. Hold down the home button and “ Sleep Now?” will appear on-screen.
To initiate the sleep, head over to the home screen. In macOS, you get to use a slider for Energy Saver. I’m not sure why Apple didn’t use a slider for this setting. You’ll have a choice of 15 minutes, 30 minutes, 1 hour, 5 hours, 10 hours, or Never. Under General, you’ll see the Sleep After settings. To change sleep’s default time, head to the Settings app. You’ll want to make sure your sleep timer setting is greater than your screensaver setting. One problem you’ll have with your screensaver is if your Apple TV goes to sleep too soon. Sleep and screensaver are two different things. Screensaver Basics: Setting the Sleep and Screensaver Timer
