Hey compo709,

Thanks for the question. If I understand correctly, you want to watch a video to the Apple TV. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help the issue.

Make sure Airplay is turned on for both your Mac (System Preferences > Airplay Display > select your Apple TV) and your Apple TV (Settings > Airplay > "On").

Also, confirm that both your Mac and your Apple TV are logged on to the same wifi channel. Good luck!
