AppleTV family sharing sign in on a MacBook

How do I accept a family Sharing subscription on a MacBook? When I shared the subscription it went to my family member’s phone and works there. But we are trying to watch on her MacBook. It wont let us sign in to tv.apple.com . Clicking on sign in button - nothing happens. Is there a different way to get in?

Family Sharing is a setting to bring accounts together in a group. It is not about devices per se. Once accepted, it would work for any of her devices with that account as used for joining the group.


Is it a MacBook [1], MacBook Air [2], or MacBook Pro [3]?

What is the version macOS on that MacBook? Find out which macOS your Mac is using - Apple Support

Apple TV+ on Macs is different for macOS 10.14 or earlier versus macOS 10.15 or later. Older versions will need to watch in the browser, while current versions can watch in the TV app. Very old versions may need to use a different browser. Try Firefox or Chrome.
