Apple TV only playing audio/screen goes black

When I try connecting my iphone (15.2.1) or macbook (mOS Monteray) to my apple airplay compatible tv i am only getting audio transferring to the tv and the screen goes black. I have done the default steps of updating firmware on all 3 devices, ensuring connection to the same wifi network, resetting all devices, resetting wifi network).


Since the devices are connecting to the tv speakers via there is some form of connection but not sure why the picture won't work. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

What service are you trying to stream from? Some video services may not support AirPlay, or even block AirPlay.

If you can AirPlay a local file with video, e.g. a clip that you recorded on your iPhone, then AirPlay is working fine, and the lack of video in the other service, points to a compatibility issue at the source.
