    Hi rnfleming4,

    Welcome to the Support Communities!  I understand you are trying to access the Control Center to use AirPlay with your TV.   Try placing your finger to the right of the Home button before swiping up.  This should reveal the Control Center.  Then tap on the AirPlay icon (see diagram).

    Use AirPlay to wirelessly stream content from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support

    Use AirPlay

    You can use AirPlay across any apps and content that allow AirPlay. AirPlay will stay on until you turn it off, so you can keep using it across various apps. Here's how to start using AirPlay.

     

    1. Connect your iOS device and Apple TV or AirPort Express to the same Wi-Fi network.
    2. Swipe up from the bottom of your screen to access Control Center.
    3. Tap AirPlay.
      AirPlay in Control Center
      See what to do if you don't see the AirPlay icon.
    4. Tap the name of the device you want to AirPlay to. The icons of a TV screen TV icon or speaker Speaker icon next to each AirPlay device show the type of media content you can stream to that device. See what to do if you don't see your device in the list.
      • For videos and photos, choose Apple TV.
      • For music, choose Apple TV, AirPort Express, or AirPlay-enabled receiver or speakers.
      Choose Apple TV
      Now the content in Photos, Videos, or the Safari app, will stream to your Apple TV. Audio in the Music or Safari app will stream to your AirPlay-enabled device.

     

    Cheers,
