Apple TV unresponsive

Lately when I connect my Mac (Yosemite 10.10.5) to my TV via apple TV the pointer is very unresponsive and hard to maneuver making watching streaming movies on my TV a pain in the ***. Is Yosemite 10.10 compatible with apple tv, or for that matter El Captain?

iMac (21.5-inch, Mid 2014), OS X Yosemite (10.10.4)

Thank you guys for a quick response. It happened again last night. I am using Apple TV2 and when I went onto youtube the mouse pointer moved sporadically and the video was choppy and stoping (not loading) stop and start all within a second. What I did was to eventually and with some difficulty close out and quit Safari leaving my desktop on my TV screen. I see now that the mouse is now moving freely and smooth and I reopen Safari and connect to Youtube and and everything worked fine.

When I'm done watching Youtube I just grab the TV remote and select input #1 to go back to regular TV without closing or quitting airplay and selecting disconnect from apple tv. Could that be whats causing the problem?
