Hello Auburngigi6,



Thanks for choosing the Apple Support Communities. We understand you are having trouble using AirPlay to mirror your iPhone to your Apple TV. We have a few steps that will help you get this sorted out. Please try them below and let us know if you have any questions.


Use AirPlay to stream video or mirror the screen of your iPhone or iPad - Apple Support


"Mirror your iPhone or iPad to a TV or Mac

  1. Connect your iPhone or iPad to the same Wi-Fi network as your Apple TV, AirPlay-compatible smart TV, or Mac.2
  2. Open Control Center:
    • On iPhone X or later or iPad with iPadOS 13 or later: Swipe down from the upper-right corner of the screen.
    • On iPhone 8 or earlier or iOS 11 or earlier: Swipe up from the bottom edge of the screen. 

3. Tap the Screen Mirroring button  

The Screen Mirroring button appears highlighted among the Control Center modules


4. Select your TV or Mac from the list.

Available devices appear for selection under Screen Mirroring


5. If an AirPlay passcode appears on your TV screen or Mac, enter the passcode on your iPhone or iPad.

To stop mirroring your iPhone or iPad, open Control Center, tap Screen Mirroring, then tap Stop Mirroring. Or press the Menu button on your Apple TV Remote.

 

  1. Some video apps might not support AirPlay. If you can’t use AirPlay with a video app, check the App Store on your Apple TV to see if that app is available.
  2. Find out which macOS versions and Mac models are compatible with AirPlay to Mac and learn how to set up your Mac to be an AirPlay receiver."


We hope this helps.


Cheers!
