    Hi RPP3esq,

     

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!

     

    If you are not seeing the AirPlay icon in your menu bar so you can mirror your MacBook Pro to your Apple TV, please review the following article for AirPlay troubleshooting.

    Troubleshooting AirPlay Mirroring

    If you don't see mirroring options

    If your Mac and Apple TV are on the same network, but no AirPlay Mirroring menu appears, your Apple TV may be asleep. Simply press a button on your Apple TV remote to wake it up. After a few seconds, the AirPlay Mirroring menu extra appears. If you still don't see the options you expect, make sure your Apple TV has the current software update installed. Also make sure that you have the "Show mirroring options in the menu bar when available" option selected in the Displays pane of System Preferences.
