AirPlay AppleTV – Restricting AirPlay to a Single AppleTV on the Same Network

airplayairportappletv

I have multiple Apple TVs in my apartments, all connected to the same network.

I want to block the possibility for the guest to stream video or connect to other Apple TV excluded the Apple TV in their single room (ex: guest in cabin 1 can't controls the ATV in cabin 2).

It is possible?

Yes, on the AppleTV you can set how AirPlay can be used by opening Settings and then AirPlay and then pressing "Allow Access".

On the guest room AppleTV, you would set it to for example "Anyone on the Same Network".

On the other AppleTVs, you would set it to "Only People Sharing this Home" or "Require Password".

This means that the guest cannot send an AirPlay stream to the other AppleTVs, unless ofcourse he gains access to the password, or you share your Home with the guest.
