- Trying to navigate your way through Zwift with the AppleTV remote isn't the best user experience you'll have in-game. There is one thing the AppleTV remote does well, and that's the quick and easy way to activate Power-Ups.

Also level 50 rider here. I've used Apple TV for Zwift since I started in 2018, but once I load a training session or race, I prefer to leave the remote as far as possible until it's time to save the session. Just grabbing it from a chair or table can activate one of the other buttons, which can enable some UI element or even go to the main Apple TV screen and get you out of a ride. At least the companion app doesn't interact with the operating system of the Apple TV, which is why I prefer to stick to that method for power ups.
Gotta love that 10xp “bonus”!!! I continue to run Zwift on my iPad and Airplay it to an AppleTV but these little UI/remote control improvements will mean that sometime soon I’ll take the iPad out of the equation
Brilliant tip. My wife uses Apple TV but never used the powerups as it was too hard. She'll love this. Thanks! 🚴♀️🙏👍
Perhaps the best tip I have heard, I rarely use the powerups because they have been so hard to deal with using the Apple TV remote, but no more, Brilent.
Thanks, Shane. Have you covered already in a previous video what the different power-ups are, and when best to use them? If you haven't, would you consider doing one? Thanks!
I did not know about that one either, and I am using an AppleTV for the first time this winter. Not sure I needed to see you try 3 times to get a powerup... but hey! It was amusing, so fair dinkum!
You’re my kind of tester. You don’t dump fake or random data in. Contextual inputs FTW.
There are specific keyboards for game streamers and I think zwift can make a similar product for its app.
A smal keyboard that also has a few knobs like volume control (rotational) and the ones on an equaliser (up and down drag) to quickly set the trainer difficulty or simulate in game shifting
Wow, didn't know that either! Thanks guys!
Thank you! I riding on zwift with apple tv since a month( win10 before that). However I'm not able to give ride on's to other riders in an easy way? Do you know how to do that in apple tv?
Can you do a update on Apple Tv?
Is there still a limitation on BT-Devices?
Are there more apple tv shortcuts we should know?
Good tip!
LIFE SAVER, thanks!
Thanx!!!
Thankyou, I’ve wanted to throw that bloody remote at the wall a couple of times during sprint race finnishes when it failed to select the power up.
Thanks, game changer
Brilliant!
Did I know something before GPLama!?!?! Whooohhhooo
Double press down on the remote to do that u-turn
Game changer!
think it takes 1km or maybe +2mins to be able to get another power up by u-turn, from experience
The second sprint didn't give a power up because it's a measure to prevent power up farming. Not sure if it's a time or distance based cool down but you can't grab a new power up until after the cool down for the previous power up pickup is over
The 10xp 😂😂
Whats with the new tron bike colors ?
All very well, but it stopped my spotify in the middle of 'I am the resurrection' by the Stone Roses.
Still no avatar shadows on Apple TV or am I missing something?
This is what I told you on the 17th of September 😆
Handy tip , given my zca won’t keep the map screen open (known bug for a month now) I’ve done plenty of rides where I’ve needed the power up and not been able to easily get at it on AppleTV
I’ve only just got an iPhone this week and my Zca doesn’t work. Was always fine with Android, is this a known problem then? I thought it was just me?
@@dh7314 Dave, check out the forums, there’s a couple of threads about the app not working and todays update hasn’t fixed it for me so far either
Would love to see a video of the 2021 Keiser m3i spin bike for power accuracy and using it as a dumb trainer zwift option for those who hate transferring their bikes on and off their smart trainer. The new version is said to be zwift compatible over Bluetooth, can connect to multiple devices and transmits power, hr and cadence information to the app. Can you do it for zwifters who are also spin fans?
I'll need access to the hardware. Looks like it sells for AU$2,945.... it'd want to be accurate for that much money.
@@gplama It is one of the most used commercial spin bikes in N America, would love to know how it stands up! They claim it to be TÜV EN957-10 certified for accuracy (whatever that standard means).
@@elced01 As far as I can tell, that standard only addresses safety concerns and not actual accuracy (due to the weight of the flywheel)
I listen to music on my App,e TV while I ride. This will pause the music. 😟
Idea for a Zwift Swift Tip video: I just did a TT race that finished on top of Watopia KOM at the radio tower. Afterwards I thought to myself, how fast will the handcycle be on a desent like that. Would I be able to push past 100 km/h? I made the bike swap and adjusted my weight to 150 kgs for good meassure. Then I pushed 350-ish watts until I was on to the steep part of the descent, and then stopped pedalling altogether. The handcycle still managed to clock in 102 km/h near the bottom of the radio tower descent.
I'm not sure if this is a candidate for a Zwift Swift Tip video, but it would seem like a convenient shortcut for an achievement without the need for an Aero powerup.
Given the absolute scenes caused by anything related to Zwift and cheating, can you imagine how things would turn out if I was to advocate people changing their weight in-game to 150kgs? It'd be chaos.
@@gplama I would be able to relate, if it was in Zwift Racing League or any other sort of racing involving others. But out of race, to win an achievement that won't rob others of anything...?
I suspect you have a much better idea of what makes people throw temper tantrums...
Ride on. :)
G'day Shane ...mate my Apple TV seems to only keep my last ride best power. It doesn't keep my all time best effort. Eg...I know my best is almost 1200w but it never shows in my best power number on Zwift. It only keeps my best from that ride. Any idea why or perhaps something to do a video on?
Hmmm. One for Zwift Support.
@@gplama righto I'll log a ticket and keep you informed just in case it's worth a video
Only downfall, it pauses any music you may have playing in the background.
For some reason the Zwift companion app keeps closing the map when I’m on a ride using Apple TV 4K. It’s really flakey. I’m less than 5 feet away from the Apple TV box and I’m using an iPhone.
One for Zwift Support
if you listen to music on Spotify while you pedal and press play the music stops ... not nice ..
I've been to the Alp du Zwift a lot, I was only able to find out this week that you get 1000xp when the wheel of fortune turns on the wheels and I already have them. Was that already known? Ok, Level 50 Zwifter shouldn't be interested in that.
Yep, been known about since the wheel spin. You also get bonus XP for the helmet and gloves, it's one reason why doing laps of the Alpe in workout mode is one of the best way to level up fast. You often get the wheels 2 out of 3 back to back ascents after you get them the first time I've found. Add the bonus 250? Xp for helmet or gloves, and that's a good chunk of XP.
@@titaniumben9923, nice to know. Thank you! :)
After all these years 😅
I call the 10 XP “bonus” the Eric Min curse.
I only recently got Apple TV and the remote is a nightmare, navigating the menu’s is frustrating. Plus the companion app no longer works for me, so not loving it to be honest.
Go into the settings on Apple TV and reduce the scroll speed to minimum.
I think this tip is about 100 tips too early for me. Just bought a kickr just getting started on Zwift. I have no idea what you’re talking about 😂 I’ll get there 👍
Also what’s the advantage of running Zwift through AppleTV? I need to up my knowledge game clearly…
Zwift just works on the Apple TV.
Press Play On Tape
10XP 😂
Whaaaaaaaaatttttttttttttt!!!!!! How come I didn't know this???? Discoverability 0/10.
Is that new remote any better than its crappy predecessor
Yes
What’s the point of powerups?
Aren’t they basically built in cheating?
Gamification. Event organisers can disable them if they like.
@@gplama hm, I still don’t see the appeal, but then that’s probably saying more about my rookieness in Zwift than about the usefulness of power ups 😅
….but Shane there’s a downside to this tip. If you’re playing Apple Music hitting this button stops the music. My preference is to still use the ZCA for PU’s.
The same problem is in Spotify. What is worse, hitting the button again does not resume the music.
Can't you just press it again to unpause the music?
@@DavidMackenzie No, it becomes a Zwift hot key for PU’s only.
omg one hour video on how to hit play for powerup 🤧
One hour? Doesn’t check out.
ideally zwift users would shun power-ups, promting their ultimate removal. no more gimmicks.
