Why can I not select Apple TV as a speaker on iTunes airplay for my iMac?

I am unable to play iTunes from my iMac to Apple TV. I've turned on home sharing in macOS Monterey 12.3. However, Apple TV still doesn't show up in iTunes airplay (see attached pic). Why not? I'd appreciate any help with this.

It turned out that my two AirPlay 2 devices were using separate Wi-Fi networks. This issue was resolved once I changed my Mac to the correct Wi-Fi network. Now I can stream Music from my Mac to Apple TV.

Step 2 from your suggested resource was the solution: If screen mirroring or streaming isn't working on your AirPlay-compatible device - Apple Support

Thank you!
