How do I enable Airplay on my Mac with a firewall?

I am trying to use Airplay client on my MacBook Pro with the firewall configured out of the box. Airplay errors out "Incoming connection blocked to {{display_name}}" I need a firewall rule that would allow the outbound Airplay connection to go through without disabling the firewall entirely.


This issue has been posted before and there was no solution found. This is the thread that shows up at the top of Google Search:
