When I searched TikTok in the App Store of my Apple TV, I found that the app was unsupported. However, there are alternate methods to watch TikTok on Apple TV. In most cases, I will use an iPhone or iPad to stream TikTok videos wirelessly using the Screen Mirroring option on the Control Center. If my iPhone runs out of charge, I will use a Mac to screen mirror TikTok to the streaming device. For both cases, an active WiFi network is essential.
In this article, I will show you how to stream TikTok on Apple TV using screen mirroring.
