From what device with the Apple TV app did you intend to stream?

What is your model TV?


Apple apps on Apple devices can stream to other devices using AirPlay, not other casting protocols. That means that the receiving device must support AirPlay too.

Select newer models TV may support AirPlay. List of AirPlay 2-enabled smart TVs and third party TV-connected devices - Apple

Apple’s own Apple TV set-top box supports AirPlay.


Alternatively, select newer smart TVs may support the Apple TV app natively among their smart apps.

Or you can use a HDMI-connected streaming device that has the Apple TV app.
