Apple today seeded the second beta of the upcoming tvOS 18 refresh to developers for testing purposes, with the beta coming two weeks after the first beta came out following the WWDC 2024 keynote event.

Registered developers are able to download the tvOS 18 update by opting in to the beta through the Settings app on the Apple TV. A registered developer account is required.

tvOS 18 adds an InSight feature to the TV app, and it is able to provide real-time information about actors, music, and more in Apple TV+ shows and music. Enhanced Dialogue has been refined with machine learning and computational audio so it is better able to boost vocal clarity over background noise and music, plus it is now available on built-in TV speakers, AirPods, and other Bluetooth devices.

Subtitles will now show up automatically when relevant, such as when the TV's volume is muted, a show or movie is rewound, or when the language of a show doesn't match the device language.

Other new features include 21:9 aspect ratio support for projectors, new screen savers and improved controls for swapping screen savers, and support for Live Captions during FaceTime calls through an iPhone or iPad.

Hope they sneak in passthrough audio in one of these betas as an unannounced tvOS 18 feature. Come on apple developers, you can do it!!!

We can hope but somehow I don't think they're ever going to give us that... and because of that I won't buy one. I didn't spent a small fortune on AV gear to feed my receiver PCM

I was having a lot of issues with wireless audio calibration with beta 1, but those seem to be resolved in this version. I could not get my setup to play in sync with all the HomePods in my home on beta 1 but now I can again.
 
I just wish they'd fix the bug since iOS 15 where going back loses your place on the previous screen.
 
why is 21:9 support limited to projectors :( Would've like support for my widescreen monitors
