How to get out of zoom on Apple TV

I was watching Apple TV last night and somehow activated zoom. I don’t know what I did, but now I can’t get out of it!

Apple TV HD, tvOS 18

  1. If zoom is part of your Accessibility Shortcut configuration, then you can activate and de-activate that with the same button pressing (triple-click Menu or Back).
  2. Else find the zoom function in Settings﹥Accessibility﹥Zoom﹥Zoom﹥On. Navigating while in zoom may be a bit odd at first, but fully functional. See the description in the link.
  3. As a last resort, you can try restarting the unit. Apple TV zoom would be reset then.
  4. Some TVs may have their own independent zoom functionality.
