Apple TV Feed

Distribute your VideoNest content to Apple TV. Apple TV channels require a VideoNest partnership — this is not a self-serve submission.

How Apple TV distribution works

Apple TV (Apple's streaming platform, distinct from Apple TV+ original content) supports content channels from media partners. Access requires an agreement with Apple's media content team — it is not open to all publishers via a self-serve portal.

VideoNest works directly with Apple to distribute content on behalf of eligible VideoNest publishers. When you reach the minimum requirements and apply through VideoNest, VideoNest manages the channel submission, feed delivery, and ongoing relationship with Apple.

VideoNest feed compatibility

VideoNest generates an Apple TV-compatible feed that satisfies Apple's content requirements, including titles, descriptions, 16:9 thumbnails, content ratings, closed captions, and series metadata where applicable. No additional feed configuration is needed on your end — once your channel is set up through VideoNest, your feed updates automatically.

Requirements to qualify

• Content volume: A library with sufficient depth — typically 50+ videos minimum
• Content quality: 720p or higher, consistent thumbnail quality, complete metadata
• Content ratings: All content must have accurate ratings applied
• Ownership: You must own or have full distribution rights to all content in the channel
• Closed captions: Required; Apple has specific accessibility requirements

How to apply

1. Ensure your VideoNest library meets the requirements above
2. Create a CTV feed in VideoNest for the content you want on Apple TV (Media → Feeds → Create Feed → Video)
3. Contact the VideoNest team and include your feed URL and a brief description of your channel

The VideoNest team will review your content and, if eligible, initiate the Apple channel submission on your behalf.
