I just get a black screen on apple tv when airplay from my macbook, audio plays on my macbook. I've restarted both several times. No internet problems. Airplay from my iphone works fine. What should I do next?

MacBook Pro 13″, OS X 10.10

What is your model Apple TV? Identify your Apple TV model - Apple Support

What are you trying to AirPlay, and from which application? Not all content and services are AirPlay compatible.

Review this support page for how to operate it as intended. How to AirPlay video and mirror your device's screen - Apple Support


There is also a bit of a difference between using in-app “basic” AirPlay from within iTunes/Apple TV app/QuickTime Player/​Safari, and AirPlay Screen Mirroring. Difference in how to operate it and difference in what it can do.
