Evercast is supported on Apple TV 3rd, 4th, and 5th generation. For best performance, your Apple TV should be hard-wired to Ethernet.
If you would like your Apple TV to receive a multi-channel (surround sound) stream from Evercast, follow these instructions from the Apple website.
To adjust your dynamic range, follow these instructions from the Apple website. To change your display resolution, see this page on the Apple website.
- From your account dashboard, click the "three dots" button on the top right of your room tile and select Apple TV sign-in.
From within a live room, you can hover over the main window while a stream is playing. A down-arrow icon will appear in the top corner of the stream window.
Click the arrow and select Output to Apple TV.
- A window will appear asking you to enter the code from your Apple TV.
We recommend turning on Allow reconnections to the room. This lets the app automatically reconnect to an active room if you leave or get disconnected, without you needing to re-enter the 5-digit code each time.
- If you enter the correct code, you will get a green success notification. You are now waiting for the room owner or room admin to approve the Apple TV login request.
Entering an invalid code will present a red error message:
If the room owner or room admin is not in the room, you will also get a red error message:

To avoid hearing double audio, you can mute the stream in your Evercast room so the sound is only coming from the Apple TV. To mute the stream audio, hover over the stream thumbnail and click on the down arrow button that appears. Then select Turn off audio.
If you leave the room on the Apple TV, you will have the options to Join another room or go back to the room you were in. Checking the box on Autoconnect to [room name] will let the app automatically reconnect next time.
To stop a stream from playing on the Apple TV, double-click the Home button on the Apple TV remote. Then swipe up on the Evercast Apple TV app to quit the app. Press the Home button again to return to the Apple TV home screen.
Note
If there are multiple streams in the room, only the most recent stream will be visible on the Apple TV. When that most recent stream is stopped, the Apple TV will display the previous stream.
