New features arriving with tvOS 17

FaceTime - surprised it’s taken this long

Continuity Camera API for Apple TV, so apps like Zoom and WebEx will also launch on tvOS. Unexpected - excellent!

Redesigned Control Center - looks good. includes a sleep timer!

Find my Remote - nice, no AirTag needed after all?

A new Enhance Dialogue feature on Apple TV 4K paired with a second-generation HomePod can separate dialogue from background noise and put it on the center channel. I’m assuming this only works apps that use Apple’s native player API

Updated SharePlay experience. Same assumption, maybe an even smaller subset of apps allowed to participate?

Apple TVK 4K now supports Dolby Vision 8.1 - cool

Third-party developers can now create VPN apps for Apple TV - wow, very cool, very unexpected

Using the Apple TV remote on iPhone to turn on an Apple TV will now automatically set it to that user’s profile - smart

User profiles can now save additional settings, including system language and paired AirPods - cool, too. Now let’s see more of this!
