I opened up my Mac and Apple TV isn't showing up, but it does show up on my phone. How do I fix this?

The (Apple) TV app on Mac should be available in the /Applications folder, and also accessible from the Launchpad.

The TV app would by default be present in the Dock too, but might have been manually removed from there, intentionally or accidentally. You can drag-and-drop to set it back again.

The TV app is protected against deletion, so at least one of these should make it accessible.
