6. Stop Screen Mirroring

When you're finished screen mirroring, simply click on the AirPlay icon and select "Turn AirPlay Off". Your Macbook Pro will stop mirroring to the Apple TV.

Tips for Troubleshooting

If you're having trouble connecting, make sure both devices are on the same Wi-Fi network and within range of each other.
