Hi. First, enable AirPlay on the ATV. Then you should see a little TV icon (horizontal rectangle) in the computer menu bar. You can use it to mirror the computer screen on ATV, or even use it as an additional display. Alternatively, when you play a video, in Safari or another app, you should see the TV icon in the player. You can use this to stream the video to ATV. I this mode, the video will fill the TV screen, because it's playing on the ATV. Here's the general help doc, Use AirPlay to display video from your Mac on an HDTV - Apple Support.
