Home Sharing works a bit differently with macOS Catalina or later vs. prior versions, as the sharing of the library is activated in System Preferences, instead of the iTunes application. It shouldn’t affect the Apple TV side of Home Sharing.
System Preferences﹥Sharing﹥☑︎Media Sharing﹥☑︎Home Sharing﹥[set matching Apple ID account and Library name]
The managing of the content of the library for videos is done in the TV app on Mac.

Try the following first and see if this helps:
Thanks for the response! I can still share Mac screen with Apple TV.
TV app on the Apple TV only shows purchased content!
I can’t access the computer app on Apple TV where I used to see the downloaded content, home videos etc!
feels like apple are clamping down and only letting you use paid content on their devices! Frustrated!!
both are on same wifi!
If you have separate SSID network names for the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz Wi-Fi band on your router/gateway/access point, then that may lock out devices on each of these to connect to devices on the other part. It is recommended to not separate them, but to bridge both parts into one logical network under one name, and let devices connect however they prefer.
Try restarting the ATV 3 and restarting the computer. Then attempt to re-connect. Frankly I'd suggest updating the ATV to an ATV 4K model.
I have tried restarting both AT3 and computer! No difference!
if I upgrade to an AT4 will I then be able to watch videos downloaded and once saved into iTunes?
I can’t access the computer app on Apple TV
Okay, good clue. So what happens when you launch the Computers app on Apple TV?
It says it can’t connect and to turn on sharing on the computer. It is turned on and both are on same wifi!
An additional condition is, that the Apple TV can only see Libraries shared using the same Apple ID account. Verify that they match.
They match
Do you have any other device to test the usability of Home Sharing with?
E.g. Can you access the Home Sharing library on the Mac using an iPhone or iPad or other computer?
Connections are the same. Always have been. Only since I upgraded to Monterey the problem started!
Has anyone been able to see Non Paid for content on Apple Tv 3 from their Mac using OS Monterey?
