Why can I only mirror and not airplay from ipad

Using my iPad3, I was able to stream browser content from youtube directly to Apple TV (3rd Generation). I purchased a new iPad 9.7" this year and can no longer use airplay to stream. The only option I have is Screen Mirroring, not Airplay as on my ipad 3. Mirroring works, but it's very annoying and not professional at all when doing presentations. Is anyone else experiencing this?

I'm also not able to airplay content from my macbook pro, only mirror the entire screen. This is very sloppy when doing presentations.

Suggestions appreciated.

Basic airplay is still available. Bring up control centre and where the playback controls are you will see a sound wave icon in the top right, which will then allow you to select the Apple TV.

For the Mac, outside of iTunes and select content in Safari you need to mirror. If you were using Youtube, for example, you would see the airplay icon on the far right of the player controls.

That is incorrect. It works for both music and video, just as it always has.

I'm terms of the Mac, airplay is a protocol developed by Apple and as such built into their browser (Safari). Chrome would be supporting casting via chromecast.

The top example only works for music. I do appreciate your response though. As long as I'm using Safari I can airplay. Just not from google chrome. Kinda ***** because Chrome is a better browser.
