Apple TV stuck on AirPlay, unable to access Home screen or Settings

My Apple TV only displays AirPlay, but it does not let me access the Home screen or see other apps. So, I CANNOT go to Settings to change the conference room setting as many responses have indicated.

The so-called “Conference Room Display” screen would show AirPlay information. On modern models, this would be overlayed over the screen saver, or a custom image. Conference Room Display has an on-off setting.


You should be able to get out of this screen, by pressing Menu or < Back on the remote. This could optionally be locked with a PIN code, or could optionally be blocked through a loaded device profile.
