Can't cast a Netflix movie from my MacBook to my TV via HDMI cable

Dear Apple Community, recently it was no longer possible for me to cast movies from Netflix, Amazon Prime or YouTube from my MacBook Pro (Apple M1 Max, 16" from 2021) to my TV. With a normal Windows computer and with my old one MacBook Pro (15" from 2014), it works. I've read that Apple seems to have released an innovation that IOS 15.7 and later no longer allow this. My old MacBook hasn't done a software update for a long time, so it's probably still working with it. This is of course absolutely ... of Apple again. Does anyone know a solution how to continue casting movies?
