    My Apple TV 4K Gen 2 is unusable for screen mirroring from multiple iPhones. The phone’s screen appears but runs at about ~1fps. It’s incredibly choppy and laggy, not usable for videos or even scrolling. Audio works fine. Mirroring the same phone to an ATV 4K Gen 1 in another room works...

    Listening to music while using Apple TV

    If I have a HomePod or HomePod mini paired to an Apple TV, can I play music through airplay from my phone, while whatever video I'm watching on the TV is muted, or will the speaker not allow that? Just need to know whether I'll need a separate speaker for that. Thank you very much.
