    Check if the app actually allows video airplay - some don't due to licensing restrictions of how you can view media.

    Thank you Alley_cat for the information I did not know.    It turned out that my iPad mini works fine.   The problem is with my iPad (I believe it is the original first generation).      Perhaps streaming video is not supported on original iPad?

    The original iPad can Airplay but it can't do Airplay Mirroring of the screen contents - basic Airplay sends a stream of pre-rendered video/audio to the AppleTV whereas mirroring requires the unit to convert the screen display into a format AppleTv can understand 'live' and takes more power.

     

    Several apps may not have full functionality on older hardware.

     

    My iPad 1 still works fine, but it's much slower than the current version which I read is maybe 70x faster for some tasks!
