tvOS 14 is the sixth release of tvOS, shipped September 16, 2020. Picture-in-picture went system-wide at last, YouTube reached 4K playback, HomeKit cameras streamed live to the big screen with doorbell notifications, and Audio Sharing paired two sets of AirPods. Game streaming controllers (Xbox Elite, Adaptive) broadened the console story.

System-wide picture-in-picture; HomeKit camera feeds and doorbell alerts; YouTube 4K; Audio Sharing; expanded controller support; and AirPlay of 4K video from iPhone.

A quiet infrastructure year that wired the TV into the smart home's camera layer — the doorbell-on-the-big-screen moment became the HomeKit demo — while the interface awaited later cycles' attention.
