Is it possible to record the video feed out of the Apple TV’s new capability of using iOS device camera to see the video feed on Apple Music?

(Longest question ever, I know)

So I’ve been playing around with the new feature on tvOS to use my iPhone camera to see oneself on the tv screen when singing along Apple Music tracks. But I can’t for the life of me figure out how to record what’s on the screen.

Is it even possible? If so, how?

Thanks.

Apple doesn't provide this feature because it would be used for pirating movies. BUT, you can buy a device that sits in between your TV and your AppleTV to do just that. It's called HDMI Capture.

I understand that recording Apple TV’s screen would be very certainly used for piracy; I was hoping that since the video feed is coming from the iPhone it shouldn’t be a problem though.

Thanks for your reply. I will look into getting a HDMI capture thing.
