Airplay shows wallpaper and I hear audio, but no application windows

I am trying to watch a movie on my Macbook using Chrome, and show it on Apple TV. On my TV I see my wallpaper and the top bar, but none of my applications show. I also get audio. Any ideas?

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 10.13

Dolby Atmos Not showing on Netflix App on the labels beside Ultra HD 4K. Hello, does anyone know if Netflix on Apple TV doesn't label the tags correctly? For example, I have recently bought a Bose 900 soundbar and it has Dolby Atmos in it. My problem is when I'm watching a show/movie on Netflix on Apple TV 4k 4th Gen (2021), it doesn't display Dolby Atmos on the content, it shows Dolby Vision, on it. For example the F1 drive to survive is in Dolby Atmos. When I go to my Bose music app it does show that the sound is playing in Dolby Atmos. I'm wondering why it doesn't show the label correctly on Apple TV Netflix App. I currently have the 4th gen Apple TV 4K. 6 Underground Movie shows the labels correctly: Dolby Vision Dolby ATMOS. Some shows/movies are not correctly labeled. Another example is that Dolby Atmos is shown on the TV's Netflix app when I'm watching a show/movie. This is strange that Apple is not displaying the correct labels on the app, it only shows Dolby Vision or Ultra HD 4K. I want the Apple to correctly show Dolby Atmos on the content as well. I just want to know if this is an app glitch or some kind of issue on my end. But my Bose Music app does show It's playing in Dolby Atmos.

Where has the Apple Music AirPlay icon gone in Ventura update? Since updating to Mac Ventura (13.0.1) on my MacBook M1 Pro, the AirPlay icon in the Apple Music app, (the one that appears next to the volume controls at the top), no longer appears. How can I play my Apple Music on my Bluetooth device without outputting my entire Mac's sound? Never had this issue until the moment I updated. Has it moved somewhere else, or has the most useful feature in Apple Music bizarrely been removed?? Any help much appreciated.

On your laptop, go to system preferences and click "gather windows". You will be able to see your movie. But it will be projected at the computer screen resolution. So you have to remove the gather windows and drag the picture to the second screen. This will show it on the Apple TV device. Now change the resolution of the Apple TV screen to the desired video resolution. Happy viewing.
