Why is AppleTV showing a popup menu about AirPlay all the time?

I am experiencing a problem with AppleTV that I never had before:

It is a black popup message that keeps poping up on my TV during my Slide Show.

It says:

AirPlay

Wirelessly send what's on your iOS device or computer to this display using AirPlay. To learn more, go to apple.com/airplay

Then it displays an instruction to Choose Wi-Fi Network and Choose This AppleTV

Does anyone know what it is all about and how I could fix it? I never had this problem before and I really need help because I want to play this slideshow on my TV during a party tonight.

Any tip will be mostly welcomed!

MacBook Pro with Retina display, OS X Mavericks (10.9.1)

Under Settings > Airplay, try turning Conference Room Display to Off.

This is not a fix, this is an annoyance. I want both features! And I don't want to have to go into the settings menu to change between the two! I didn't have to do this before, and I don't want to do it now. Sometimes I use the mirror features, and sometimes I want to see my slideshow with pictures. Fix this apple!
