FaceTime, Zoom, and Find My Remote (sorta) are coming to the Apple TV 4K. But there's still something else we want
with the forthcoming tvOS 17 launch. Many of these involve using Apple’s TV box as a way to communicate with others, either via FaceTime, video meeting apps or SharePlay .
There are also several updates that improve the Apple TV 4K’s basic features, including one that’s been on our wishlist ever since tvOS 16 launched this time last year. One thing to note is that tvOS 17 is only available as a developer beta starting today. Following the pattern of other tvOS releases, it will most likely be available as an official update in September.A new FaceTime app for Apple TV 4K will let you use your iPhone or iPad to have video chats on your big-screen TV. Calls can be started directly from the Apple TV app, or you can initiate them on an iPhone or iPad before playing them on an Apple TV.
The new app uses Continuity Camera support to make a wireless connection between the Apple TV and the user’s device, while a Center Stage feature keeps all FaceTime participants evenly framed onscreen. Another bonus: gesture-based reactions let you create floating effects like hearts or fireworks during calls for added impact.In the 'it’s about time' category, Zoom and Webex apps will finally be coming to Apple TV 4K.
Apple also announced that developers can now take advantage of Continuity Camera APIs on the Apple TV 4K for iOS device integration into tvOS apps, with the company promising to bring forth “new shared and immersive entertainment experiences for the living room”.
