  • Home Sharing is about getting content on the Apple TV from a networked computer (its iTunes Library).
  • Adding apps can be done on an Apple TV (4th generation or later), by searching the App Store on the device itself.
  • AirPlay allows Screen Mirroring from a mobile device.


All these are different and independent of each other.
