If the AirPlay icon doesn't appear

Ensure that you have followed the steps in using AirPlay and AirPlay Mirroring.

If you are still unable to see the AirPlay icon , try one of the following steps:

• If trying to AirPlay, or AirPlay mirror, to your Apple TV, ensure that AirPlay is enabled on your Apple TV as well. You can enable or disable AirPlay on Apple TV in the AirPlay menu: Settings > AirPlay.
• Check Internet or network connectivity on all affected devices.

  Some content requires an Internet connection to authorize content playback. AirPlay capabilities may be limited if your network is not connected to the Internet.

• If attempting to use AirPlay from a third-party app or a website from your Safari app on your iOS device, confirm that the app or website is AirPlay compatible (refer to the developers of the app or website for additional information).

Best of luck,

Mario

Apple has become so unreliable. AirPlay is a wonderful theory, but 9 out of 10 times just isnt an option. Roku is so much more reliable. And don't tell me "well it doesn't have airplay," because Apple TV doesn't really have it either, any more than it has teleportation.
