Your Apple TV has a lot of different settings to help customize the way the device functions. Some of these settings have default options, including the screensaver. If there is no activity on the Apple TV, then the screensaver will turn on after a set period of time. It’s likely that the current duration is set tp five minutes or so. But if you don’t like the screensaver or you simply don’t want it to come on, then you are able to disable it. Our guide below will show you how to turn off the screensaver on your Apple TV.
