Problems with Airplay on Apple TV3 after upgrading to Sequoia 15.0

Disabling the firewall worked for me and I can now screen mirror again to Apple TV 3rd Gen 18.2 from My Macbook Pro 15.2. Issue started immediately after upgrading to macOS Sequoia 15.2. I could easily screen mirror to iPad and can also mirror from another laptop running macOS Sonoma 14.5 to the Apple TV.

Again, disabling the firewall brought back the screen sharing functionality for me instantly. Enabling the firewall (Settings -> Network -> Firewall) doesn't seem to disrupt screen sharing immediately, but it makes it so that the feature stops working next time I try to connect with a dialog "Could not connect to Apple TV"

I could see no offending rules in the Options area of the firewall.

Having the exact same issues. Airplay\mirroring from my iphone works fine though.

I have found that if you disable the Mac OS firewall, airplay will work in 15.2 but with it on it attempts to connect but fails. - This is a poor solution but currently, it's the only way we can get it to work in 15.2. - it seems that there is something that needs to be allowed in the firewall settings to allow airplay to work correctly.

Also have same issue with Apple TV 4K, disconnected randomly and trouble even trying to airplay. Doesn’t even see my Apple TV sometimes.

same issue with my MBP with M1 chip and an Apple TV 4K with tvOS 18. it will randomly disconnect.

Same issue here and its really screwing up my workflow. MBP with M2 Pro chip and 4k Apple TV (A2737).

Same here with a MacBook Pro and M1. It will inconsistently drop.

I am facing a very similar issue. I often use my Apple TV as a second display for my Mac, since upgrading my mac to macOS Sequoia 15.0 it constantly disconnects. Sometimes it works for 2 minutes, sometimes I get an hour but in the end it always disconnects. This used to work very well before I updated and it's made me want to downgrade my mac OS. I was hoping that 15.0.1 would fix it but it just made it worse and more frequent.

Come on Apple, please fix this.

After updating both of my MacBooks to Sequoia 15.2...

• M1 MacBook Pro: AirPlay screen mirroring works fine to an Apple TV
• Intel MacBook Pro: Airplay screen mirroring does NOT work to an Apple TV. I've tried resetting the PRAM and SMC. Strangely, the screen mirroring will work to an iPad.

We are facing same issues, after updating Apple TV to 18 these issues started MacBook airplay is dropping for every 3-4minutes it’s annoying

Same issue. tsOS 18.1, MacOS 15.1.1 - I use this everyday and now it's unusable.

Any resolutions?

I have a somewhat related issue to yours. I have a MacBook Pro with the M1 chip that has been updated to macOS Sequoia (version 15). Since then, I've been experiencing random disconnects when using the AirPlay feature on my Apple TV 3 (which has also been updated to tvOS 18). Although I can reconnect the monitor, the same issue occurs again.

I've tried restarting my Apple TV, router, and MacBook, but nothing has worked. I contacted Apple Support, and the CSR claimed they are investigating this issue. I suggest that you do the same. Best of luck.

I’m also experiencing a similar problem with Apple TV 3. After updating, the AirPlay icon does not appear in my streaming video player. This is happening with the latest updates on my Mac and iPhone (iOS 18) as well. However, my iPad running iOS 17 works with AirPlay perfectly.

How to open CSR with Apple this issue is annoying a lot now, updated MacBook are working fine with older version of Apple TV 17 but once we updated or Apple TV’s to 18 issue started for every 2-3 mins air play drops from MacBook
