Airplay dialog box obscures pictures

When my TV "sleeps" and displays photos, a square black dialog box telling me about "airPlay" and how to use it keeps popping up and obscuring the pictures. How can I get rid of this dialog box?

One answer in this space posted several years ago said to go to Setting, Airplay, then Conference Room. I cant find Conference Room. Thank you!

Differences in AirPlay Screen Mirroring Icons? What are the differences in icons between the Apple TV (Airplay) devices vs. the simple 'display' icon in the Screen Mirroring menu (underlined in red in the screenshot)? We have multiple Apple TV and AirPlay-capable TVs. One TV, in particular, shows up as a different icon, and we have a significant lagging issue mirroring this specific TV from iPhone, iPad or Mac. No issue with Miracasting from Windows/Androids. What's odd is that we have the same TV model in adjacent rooms, and they show up with Apple TV icons and not 'display' icons, and have no issues mirroring from Apple devices. I'm curious to know the differences in icons, and hopefully I can narrow down the issue before deciding to factory reset the TV.

In-video airplay link broken in iOS and iPadOS Many videos, YouTube and elsewhere, include an icon to Airplay the video to another device, usually in my case to my Apple TV. However, iOS and iPadOS 18.4 broke this. When I click the icon, I get the option to Airplay, but selecting the desired device does nothing. I can use Airplay in Control Center, and that works just fine. So the issue is not specifically with Airplay, because the icon trick works just fine in macOS. Please, please, do not start posting about fixes. This is NOT something I am doing wrong, it is definitely a bug in the software. I have submitted this to Apple Product support.

AppleTV screen saver Recently my screen saver on my AppleTV started having a pop up message about the ability to use AirPlay to view from other devices. It would be fine once but it keeps popping up. How do I turn it off?

Do you have an Apple TV box? It is in the settings for that device. Not in the settings of your TV set.
