Uploading Media into the TV app?

When I upload home movies to the TV app from my Mac, can I watch them in the TV app on my TV or other devices?

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 11.2

Home Sharing is not supported on smart TVs with the Apple TV app or third party streaming devices with the Apple TV app.

Home Sharing is supported on the Apple TV set-top box. You will find the shared content in the Computers app on the Apple TV box, not in the TV app, as described on rkaufmann87’s linked document.

On Mac with macOS Catalina or later, activate Home Sharing in:

System Preferences﹥Sharing﹥☑︎Media Sharing﹥Library Name: «mac-library-identifier»

System Preferences﹥Sharing﹥☑︎Media Sharing﹥☑︎Home Sharing

On iPhone, find the shared content in the TV app: Library tab﹥«mac-library-identifier»﹥

On Apple TV, find the shared content in the Computers app.

Untagged video files will be categorized as Home Videos.
