Hi FighterPete,

Thanks for coming to Apple Support Communities for help today.

Did you test without Screen Time engaged?

Also see the tips here: If screen mirroring or streaming isn't working on your AirPlay-compatible device

"After each step, see if you still need help.

Make sure that your AirPlay-compatible devices are turned on and near each other.
Check that the devices are updated to the latest software and are on the same Wi-Fi network.
Restart the devices that you want to use with AirPlay or screen mirroring.

If you're prompted to enter a password, you might have restrictions turned on, or you might need to adjust your AirPlay password settings."

If the issue continues, please visit Get Support for a deeper dive.

Have a fantastic day!
