When I want to share a movie from my phone to my TV, my air drop doesn't work.

It streams to the TV but I only hear the sound and it doesn't show the movie.

I suppose you mean AirPlay rather than AirDrop, as the latter is file transfer and not applicable to Apple TV.

From what app on iPhone are you trying to stream?

Does the lack of visual component happen from this movie alone, or does it happen for other videos (from other sources) as well?
