Screen Sharing iTunes movies on Zoom

My iTune movies play fine in HD on my MacBook Air and my iMac but when I try to Zoom screen share a movie I purchased on iTunes it says the device is not supported.

Are iTunes movies fixed so they can't be shared on Zoom?

Purchased movie Extras not available anymore?? Today, after years of successful streaming, I cannot see anymore the Extras of one of the Movies which I purchased on my Apple devices. This happens on my iPhone, iPad and Apple TV. When I select "Info and Extras" I get the message: "Content is not available anymore".Basically I can see only the movie... On the contrary, on my Mac with an old iTunes 12.8.3.1, I can still see them... how is still possible? I paid for those Extras, so I believe it is just a matter of settings... any help please?

Cannot see all of my iTunes home movies in Apple TV with Home Sharing enabled On my iMac, I created a slideshow using iMovie, saved it to a local file as a .mov, and imported it into iTunes. I can see the new home movie in iTunes, along with 26 other older home movies. When I go to my Apple TV that's connected to my TV far away from my iMac, under 'Computers' I can see my home movies (Home Sharing is enabled), but only 20 of them appear, and the new one that I want to play isn't visible. I know some of the visible home movies are also .mov so it's not the file format. How can I get Apple TV to see my latest home video created by iMovie in iTunes? I have guests coming over tomorrow to see this movie so I really need to get around this problem quickly and I missed the open window of Apple Support. Thank you for any advice you have that will help me!

Itunes movies not showing on all devices I have an iMac where i host all of my movies purchased and downloaded. They show up just fine on the device. I can plug an ipad into the iMac and download movies and watch them no problem. However...Not all purchased and downloaded movies are showing up on my Mac Pro in iTV nor do they show up on my three apple tv's. I've checked that they are displayed in movies on my iMac and NOT in Home Videos. This is very troublesome as some of the movies were purchased as dvd's with digital downloads and stored on the iMac, some were purchased directly from iTV a long time ago...Any suggestions or ideas?

I would think so. Movies are typically limited from being shared with any hardware or software that might be capable of making a copy. Your licence is for personal use in a private setting, not for broadcast.

I had to make sure the record button was off. I could share then. With COVID being the way it is most people are using zoom to socialize not make money. You will always have people trying to steal and make a buck. However, most people using this tool to communicate just need to turn record off.
