One possibility is that the website has blocked airplay. If you know how to inspect the webpage and you see the following in the video player tag it means the web developers have explicitly blocked airplay:


x-webkit-airplay="deny"

Still stuck with 🚫. Just from one particular App on my Apple phone that has worked fine for years until earlier this year.

Tried the suggestion provided above - changing the TV resolution settings, re-started Apple TV device, no luck. On my phone, there does not seem to be an option to change the settings in the App I am trying to stream from but Apps and websites stream just fine.

I tried every solution mentioned and still get the black screen with a red circle. It’s really strange. It only affects my HD model AppleTV. My 4k streams fine from iPhone. BUT….neither will stream video from iPad to AppleTV. To add to the confusion, on the AppleTV that does have the issue, it only appears with the latest videos added to a site. Anything earlier than a couple weeks ago streams fine.

Escalated to support and an apple “senior advisor” has said that this a problem of numerous websites and not airplay.


It took them one sec to listen to the problem and say “yep contact all the websites you have a problem with”. Like immediately. This is despite saying that it happened immediately after ios 16 update.


I never contacted apple support, but lol. To dare call them anything senior is beyond funny. This is what we’re paying $$$ for?
