Beamer
Beamer is a Mac video streaming app that lets you send local movie files from your Mac to Apple TV without converting them first.
What is Beamer?
Beamer is a native macOS video streaming app for watching movie files from your Mac on a TV through Apple TV. It is designed for people who keep videos locally and want a simple way to play them on a larger screen without first converting formats or importing files into a media library. Common use cases include streaming downloaded videos, home video files, and other compatible media directly from a Mac to a living room display. Beamer supports drag-and-drop playback and is known for handling many common video formats in a straightforward desktop workflow. For Mac users who want a focused playback utility rather than a full media server, it fits a simple send-to-TV workflow.

Safety overview
Status: Mostly safe
Beamer is a legitimate media app for streaming video from your Mac to a TV. Network access and access to video files you choose are normal for this purpose. If you no longer use it, removing the app will mainly affect your ability to stream through Beamer and may leave behind ordinary support files or preferences until you delete those separately.
Recommendation: Keep Beamer if you still use it to stream videos from your Mac to Apple TV. If you no longer use that workflow, you can remove the app to free space, then clean up any remaining support files later if needed.
