Thanks again Less. I kept working on my Mac’s AirPlay display settings, and it was the firewall keeping me from connecting to my TV. I also found the “options” switch within the firewall settings that lets me allow the connection and keep the firewall on for everything else.

See: Stream audio and video from your Mac with AirPlay - Apple Support

For video, you can use the in-app AirPlay controls in the TV app, in QuickTime Player, and in Safari for (many) web videos. For audio, you can use the in-app AirPlay controls in the Music app. For other apps, you can use screen mirroring from macOS Control Center from the menu bar.

Thanks. I tried those. I just got it to work by turning off the firewall as I tried to connect to Apple TV, and it worked.
