Hello ganguly_rima,


Thanks for seeking help with AirPlay here in the Apple Support Communities.


Please start by verifying everything is set up as described here: Use AirPlay to stream video or mirror your device’s screen - Apple Support


"*Some video apps might not support AirPlay. If you can’t use AirPlay with a video app, check the App Store for tvOS to see if that app is available on Apple TV."


Next, check the info and troubleshooting here: If AirPlay or screen mirroring isn’t working on your device - Apple Support


If you still need help, are you able to stream other videos in the same app, or are you able to stream other apps correctly? If you can't watch or stream movies and TV shows in the Apple TV app - Apple Support


Cheers.
