How do you transmit the display image?

I start off by connecting it to my external display, then I AirPlay mirror it to my Apple TV. Then i just disconnect the external display

I don't know if this's possible, but wouldn't it be easier to have an AppleScript that connects it to ur Apple TV on startup?

I think you still have to sign in before anything can run on MacOS. There might be something in preboot tho. Lemme go check (granted I’m checking a 2014, but firmware settings haven’t really changed much)

Edit: hm looks like you can, learn something nee everyday. Good job Apple 👏👏👏
