Share screen from Apple TV app

Hello, I want to share my screen on zoom to a friend when watching a movie on Apple TV app on a 2019 iMac, but when I share my screen and play the movie, the person on my zoom session can't see anything but a black screen, is there any problem with the iMac, zoom or Apple TV app? I'm not sure if this is a problem or streaming from Apple TV app is not possible at all.

Thank you.

iMac Line (2012 and Later)

You lay down the law

Hehe, not at all. We’re all end users here, much like yourself. No authority but knowledge.


but don't explain the root cause.

“The content is copy protected for capturing.” That is the root cause. DRM.


Is this a feature of Apple TV+ that explicitly turns the video off when it detects a screen sharing app being active?

Yes. Other streaming services use the same practices.
