How to Install Plex On Your Apple TV

The user-friendly features of the whole Plex experience really shine through in the installation period. Not only is the Apple TV Plex app elaborate, but the Plex team has made the method of linking the app to your Plex system absolutely painless. Install IPTV on Apple TV via IP Television App.

Step 1: To start, fire up your Apple TV and head to the App Store by choosing in on the main screen, as marked below.

Step 5: Take that four character alpha-numeric code and visit Plex.tv/link and enter the code to link the Apple TV Plex app to your Plex account. You’ll receive nearly simultaneous confirmations on both the website and the Apple TV app thanking you for using Plex.

After the confirmation screen, you’ll see all the Plex media server linked to your account. In the screenshot below you can see our one very-cleverly-named media server “plexmediaserver_1”. Select the server to access the media on it.
