Create an AirPlay configuration in Apple Business
Apple TV has a mode called Conference Room Display that allows anyone to share their screen from an iPhone, iPad, or Mac using AirPlay. When Conference Room Display is turned on, a message appears on the display with AirPlay connection instructions and wireless network details.
You can also set an Apple TV so that the only mode it offers is Conference Room Display. When you set this, you can add a custom message that users see when they attempt to connect to the Apple TV using AirPlay.
See Use Apple TV 4K as a conference room display in the Apple TV User Guide.
