If you click the Play/Pause button during keyboard input, it quickly switches between upper and lowercase letters. There are also a couple of tricks for making this easier. While I highly recommend using Siri’s voice-to-text feature when inputting text on the Apple TV, you can still type things manually. While a video is playing, you can swipe down on the trackpad to bring up some hidden settings related to that video, such as more info about the video, subtitles, and audio settings. Simply pause the video, and then swipe in either direction on the trackpad to scrub forward or backward. You also can scrub through a video quickly in order to get to a specific spot.

If you rest your thumb on either edge, a small 10-second icon appears on the video’s timeline at the bottom, denoting that you have the proper placement to click down and skip forward or backward. Skip Forward or Backward by 10 SecondsĬlicking the right and left edges of the trackpad skip a video forward or backward by 10 second increments with each click. To force close an app, navigate to it, and then swipe up.
