Pairing macbook pro to apple tv using bluetooth

I have just purchased a new Apple tv and would like to know if it's possible to pair my macbook pro via bluetooth to the apple tv. I have tried locating both on setting but neither comes up as discoverable.

MacBook Pro (13-inch Early 2011)

Your TV & Mac should be on the same Wi-Fi network.

Are you also using the same Apple account?


Stream content using Home Sharing

You can stream music, movies, TV shows, photos, and other iTunes content from a computer or iOS device to your Apple TV. Both the device and Apple TV must be configured to use the same iTunes account.

Configure a computer. In iTunes, go to File > Home Sharing and choose Turn on Home Sharing. Enter your Apple ID and password, then click Turn on Home Sharing.

Note: In Windows 7 and Windows 8, iTunes menus are hidden by default. To show them temporarily, press the Alt key.

Configure an iOS device. Go to Settings > Videos or Settings > Music and turn on Home Sharing. Enter your Apple ID and password.

If you set up Apple TV and multiple devices with the same Apple ID, content from all the devices is available on your Apple TV.

Configure Apple TV. On Apple TV, in Settings User uploaded file, go to Accounts > Home Sharing. Turn On Home Sharing, then enter your Apple ID and password.

Stream content on Apple TV. Once you’ve configured all your devices using the same Apple ID, highlight Computers User uploaded file on the Apple TV Home screen and press the Touch surface. Libraries from your shared devices appear, and you can view or play any content from any library.
