HBO Max purchased on Apple TV (Set top Box) not appearing in Apple TV app

I have subscribed to HBO Max on my Set Top Apple TV, yet that subscription is not available on my Mac. Anything I am missing to make this happen?


Thank you!

It works as intended. The HBO Max app is not available for Mac, as browser access is the regular way to access that on computers, same as for most other third party streaming services (Netflix, Prime Video, Disney+, etc.).

The linking between the Apple TV app and third party apps is supported on iPhone, iPad, and Apple TV box, but not Mac or third party devices.
