I understand that after updating to macOS Sierra, you're able to get audio but not video when using AirPlay mirroring. I know it's nice to be able to wirelessly see your desktop on your TV, so I'm happy to help.
First, make sure your devices meet the requirements for AirPlay:Requirements for using AirPlay
If you go to Apple menu > System Preferences, click Displays, and don't see the option to "Show mirroring options in the menu bar when available," your Mac doesn't meet these requirements.
Minimum requirements if your Mac and Apple TV are on the same network:
- Apple TV (2nd generation or later) with the latest Apple TV software
- For mirroring your display or extending your desktop, any of the following Mac computers with OS X Mountain Lion v10.8 or later:
Minimum requirements for peer-to-peer AirPlay, which lets visitors quickly and easily connect their Mac or iOS device to your Apple TV without gaining passwords and connecting to the Wi-Fi network:
- Apple TV (3rd generation rev A, model A1469 or later) with the latest Apple TV software
- A Mac (2012 or later) with OS X Yosemite v10.10 or later
That information can be found in this article, which also contains some troubleshooting that you should check out for this issue:
