Can anyone help me with this issue? I have done everything from restart to restore the Apple TV but no luck to use AirPlay. I think it’s something to do with the server. Apple should fix this problem as it’s been like this for weeks. It’s so frustrating!
Do you have an Apple TV (2nd or 3rd generation)? Identify your Apple TV model - Apple Support
What does it say for Settings﹥General﹥About﹥Activation﹥?
If it says ‘Failed’ there, then see: discussions.apple.com/thread/253315520.

Same thing happened to me. AirPlay worked until I did a “Restore” to attempt to fix an unrelated issue. AirPlay and network set up exactly as before. Only noticed About > Activation: Failed while troubleshooting the AirPlay issue and searching led me to this post.
Apple TV activation failed
