Here's how to AirPlay from your Mac:

What is AirPlay? AirPlay lets you wirelessly stream video, audio, photos, and screen content from your Mac to an AirPlay-compatible device, such as an Apple TV, smart TV, or AirPlay-enabled speaker.

How to AirPlay Video:

  1. Look for the AirPlay icon: When playing video in an app like QuickTime Player, Apple TV app, or Safari, look for the AirPlay icon (a rectangle with a triangle at the bottom).
  2. Select your device: Click the AirPlay icon and choose the device you want to stream to from the list of available AirPlay Receivers.
  3. Control playback: Use the playback controls on your Mac to pause, play, adjust volume, or skip ahead.

How to Mirror Your Mac's Screen:

  1. Open System Settings: Click the Apple menu in the top-left corner of your screen, and then select "System Settings".
  2. Display Settings: Click on "Displays" in the sidebar.
  3. AirPlay Display: In the Displays settings, find the "AirPlay Display" menu.
  4. Choose your device: Select the AirPlay device you want to mirror your screen to from the dropdown menu.
  5. Mirroring Options: You can choose to mirror your built-in display or use the AirPlay display as a separate extended display.

Troubleshooting:

  • Ensure devices are on the same Wi-Fi network: Both your Mac and the AirPlay receiving device must be connected to the same Wi-Fi network.
  • Check AirPlay settings on the receiving device: Make sure AirPlay is enabled and configured correctly on your Apple TV or smart TV. Refer to the device's manual for instructions.
  • Firewall settings: Ensure your firewall isn't blocking AirPlay connections.

AirPlay 2: If you have AirPlay 2 compatible devices, you can stream audio to multiple devices simultaneously.

Important Notes:

  • Not all apps support AirPlay.
  • Performance can be affected by network conditions and the capabilities of your devices.
