Play it on your computer/tablet/phone and use Screen Share.
Think of them as wireless DVRs.

I'm not sure what you mean by "Quicktime movie". But, there is a free, respected and very capable program called Handbrake that converts most any video files to most anything else.
Will you explain more about your QuickTime movie? Is it a screen recording? A video from an iPhone?

QuickTime is an Apple video/audio format used to encode video.

It is a slideshow with sound I produced in Aperture. I tried Handbrake but don't know what format to convert it to so I can save it to a thumb drive and play it on my smart TV. Thanks for your help.

Don't understand. I need to save it to a thumb drive in a format that I can use with my smart TV. Thanks.

If the Quicktime codec is H.264/MPEG-4 or H.265 (aka HEVC) and in a .MOV container, the free Handbrake program I mentioned will convert it to an MP4 with the H.264 codec for use on a USB drive plugged into a TV.
Videos are videos! The majority are in so called container files full of details and codecs for both both the audio and video halves. A lot of Apple sourced video includes variable frame rates, to reduce file size, in their MOV containers. If the "Quicktime movie" is video from a recent apple phone set to the highest settings, it can be more difficult to work with due to the space saving H.265/HEVC codec used in the .MOV container files. I doubt ANY TV (other than an Apple TV) will play it directly.
Current TVs are the best ever with their bright 4K resolutions. And, they all have the codecs built in to play 4K video and 4K enhanced slide shows beautifully. If you've not done it, shoot some 4K video or make a 4K slideshow, put it on a thumb drive and play it on your TV.
All, or nearly all, TVs can play the universal standard of 4K video at a constant 30 frames per second using the H.264 video codec and a common AVC audio codec in an MP4 container file. That's what comes out of Nikon, (most) Canon, Sony, Panasonic cameras and Samsung phones. Newer iPhones can be forced to do the same. But default to the less common HEVC/H.265.
So, back to my first question!!!

I'd try simply converting it to an MP-4 and that's just about as universal as there is, I believe
