    Hi gnatrat,

    Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities! I understand you're wanting to use AirPlay to send a video from your Windows PC to your AppleTV. AirPlay is a really cool feature and I can certainly understand wanting to take advantage of it.

     

    To use AirPlay, you need one of these devices:

    • iPhone 4 or later. iPhone 4s or later for AirPlay Mirroring.
    • iPad, iPad mini. iPad 2 or later for AirPlay Mirroring.
    • iPod touch (4th generation) or later. iPod touch (5th generation) or later for AirPlay Mirroring.

    You can stream content to these devices:

    • For photos and videos: Apple TV (2nd generation) or later.
    • For music: Apple TV, AirPort Express, or AirPlay-enabled speakers.

     

    You can find more details about AirPlay here:

    Or you can stream from iTunes on your computer following the steps here: Use AirPlay to stream content from iTunes on your computer - Apple Support

    Cheers!
