Hi there JDKII,
Thank you for posting to Apple Support Communities.
We understand you're having an issue with AirPlay. We're happy to help.
It's a good article that you referenced with If screen mirroring or streaming isn't working on your AirPlay-compatible device - Apple Support
Make sure that the iOS software on your iPhone is up-to-date. Before updating, we recommend backing up your iPhone first. These articles can be of help. When you back up, you can back up using a Mac or PC rather than iCloud if you choose.
How to back up your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch
If you are using AirPlay with an Apple TV, make sure that its software is up-to-date as well: Update your Apple TV - Apple Support
If you're trying to AirPlay using the Facebook app rather than the Safari app, make sure that their app is updated as well and check here: Stream Facebook videos to a TV
Here is how you can be sure your apps are up-to-date on iPhone: How to manually update apps on your Apple device - Apple Support
That should help. If you're still having an issue, let us know the model iPhone you're using and whether you're trying to AirPlay using Safari app or Facebook app.
Take care.
