As usual, we don't have high expectations for tvOS 15.4 in terms of new features. Apple is frugal with adding new features to the Apple TV, but sometimes we are surprised with something nice. If that's the case for tvOS 15.4 beta, we'll publish about that. Currently, testers can get started with the beta of tvOS 15.4. New beta software for the HomePod has also been released (also version 15.4) but because these beta's are invite-only it is less relevant.

tvOS 15.4 beta download
If you are a developer, you can download the necessary beta profile from the developer website and then install the beta. The tvOS 15.4 beta download is available for the Apple TV HD (formerly Apple TV 4) and Apple TV 4K. If you have previously installed betas of tvOS 14 or 15, you may need to remove their beta profile before continuing with this new beta. Public testers can sign up directly via the Apple TV (Settings > System > Get beta updates).
Note:these betas are only intended for developers and public testers and are not suitable for use on devices that you use every day.

About tvOS 15.4
This fourth update to tvOS 15 will follow along with other updates from Apple devices. We don't expect any new features in version 15.4, as they are rarely added to tvOS over the course of the year. We expect the final version of tvOS 15.4 in April or May.
About testing betas
When testing betas you can often run into problems . First of all, not all functions are usually available immediately, but they are added and expanded during the test period. You may also suffer from crashes or some apps may not yet work properly. So keep this in mind if you decide to test an iOS update. It is therefore not recommended to install a beta on a device that you use every day, because there can still be many problems in the beta.
This article will be published again and again with new betas, whereby we update the newly added features. In addition, reactions can also be cleaned more strictly than you are used to from us. This way we prevent you from having to fight your way through dozens of outdated responses from a few weeks ago.
