Airplay

My tv starts to play a video but then goes back to the Airplay screen. What do I do to fix this?

iPhone XR, iOS 14

If you were use AirPlay when this happened, then the stream may have been interrupted. For screen mirroring, don’t switch to other services on the source device (iPhone?). For ‘basic’ in-app AirPlay, you should be able to switch to other apps.

If there is interference on your home network, then the signal may be interrupted.

If other devices try to AirPlay to the same TV, then the signal may be interrupted.
