I recently purchased the 2020 Macbook air. One wired thing that I have notices is that when I use the Apple TV app to watch a show in full screen mode, there is a significant screen flickering. This problem is only with the full screen display and not when I watch in a window without the full screen.
Please help.
MacBook Air 13″, macOS 10.15
On my Mabook Air 2020 I had this problem too. I've solved it by disable the option 'Optimize video streaming while on battery power' at the 'Energy Safer' settings in macOS 10.15.6. I did not need to restart, but it can help if it doesn't work yet. Maybe connecting the MacBook Air to the power adapter while streaming may also help. Other tips to reduce flickering can be; downloading the video before watching instead of streaming, disable 'True Tone' and 'Night Shift' during streaming or video playback in general.

Are you using the TV App? Force quit the app you are using & restart your Mac
You can also try watching on tv.apple.com In a browser - just make sure you sign into your account
I disabled the "optimise video settings" option like you said, and restarted the system. This seems to work!
Thanks!
Good to read it worked out well for you! Enjoy your MBA :-)
