Inbox

The Frame.io Apple TV App will host all review and presentation links inside of your Inbox for playback. The Inbox feature works for all Team Members, Collaborators, and Secure Reviewers in your account. Sending any Review or Presentation Link via Invite Only enabled or as a direct email share will deliver to their inbox.

Once logged in, you will have access to all inboxes across all accounts that are available to you. Selecting the Account name will show you all the accounts you can access in the app. Selecting your User name will give you options to Switch User, Reset Passcode, and Sign Out.

Highlighting each listing will show a preview image, created by, created at, file size, and time received, along with an optional description of the shared content. Then select the asset you want to view or select Play All to start a Play Queue for all the assets in the shared link.

Playback

When viewing your assets, playback can be controlled through the Apple TV remote for pausing and playing. Clicking left and right will skip the video backward and forward 10 seconds. Navigating to the player bar will bring up options to choose When Playback Ends, Enable Captions, View Audio Track, and Enable Picture-in-picture Mode.

Swiping or clicking down will pull up the Play Queue. Navigate here to see other assets and folders inside of the share link. Click on one to skip to that asset or you can let it autoplay in the queue.
