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

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.
