TV app on MacBook and home sharing

Question - Do you NEED to have the TV app on a MacBook running in order to use Home Sharing (watch a video stored on MacBook on an Apple TV)? Or do you just need to have the MacBook powered on and connected to the same network as Apple TV?

MacBook, macOS 10.15

In Catalina you shouldn't need to have Music or TV running for their shared libraries to be available, but obviously sharing needs to be configured and the computer running.
