Cannot load Amazon movies to a Visio tv using personal hotspot

I have a iPhone 14 pro running iOS 17.0.2 and ATT unlimited and cannot use my personal hotspot to play Amazon movies. The movies play on the phone but do not play on the Visio tv. I am not around any gateways and am running 2 bars of cellular data. How can I get the hotspot to work with the tv?

iPhone 14 Pro, iOS 17

I get it. You're just trying to play a movie from Amazon, directly on your TV (using the Amazon Prime app?) using the Hotspot of your iPhone. You'll need to contact your carrier to see if they will let you do that with your Hotspot.

Are you trying to use your phone as a hotspot AND AirPlay the content? I don't think it can handle both tasks. I haven't found any official documentation for it, but I've tried what you're doing and also haven't had success. You'd need another device to "cast" the content, or connect your phone to the TV through an HDMI adapter.
