Can I connect Apple TV to my Mac?

On your Mac, click Control Center in the menu bar, click Screen Mirroring, then select your Apple TV or smart TV. See Use AirPlay to stream what's on your Mac to an HDTV. If your Mac and other Apple devices support AirPlay to Mac, you can listen to audio and play video from another device on your Mac.

If it is an ATV4, hook to Mac w/USB C, open Xcode & the developer menu will appear under Settinga on Apple TV. Xcode is the trigger to make this menu visible. All you have to do is open it.
