How to AirPlay from MacOS to Apple TV

You can use AirPlay to watch movies, play music, or share any other audio or video content from your Mac. It’s a convenient and easy-to-use technology that allows you to wirelessly stream audio and video content from your Apple devices to other compatible devices in your home.

What is AirPlay?

AirPlay is a wireless streaming technology developed by Apple that allows you to stream audio and video content from one device to another, such as from an iPhone or iPad to an Apple TV or AirPlay-enabled speakers.

AirPlay uses your Wi-Fi network to connect the devices, so you can stream content to any room in your house without having to physically connect the devices with cables.

With AirPlay, you can also mirror the screen of your iOS device or Mac on a TV or other device, allowing you to share photos, videos, and other content with others.

AirPlay also supports multi-room audio, so you can play the same audio on multiple AirPlay-enabled devices in different rooms at the same time.

How to use AirPlay on Mac

To use AirPlay from a Mac, you will need to have the following:

  1. A Mac computer that supports AirPlay
  2. A TV or other device that is compatible with AirPlay, such as an Apple TV or AirPlay-enabled speakers
  3. A stable and reliable internet connection

Once you have the above requirements, you can follow these steps to use AirPlay from your Mac:

  1. On your Mac, open the System Preferences app and click on the “Displays” icon.
  2. In the “Displays” window, click on the “AirPlay Display” drop-down menu and select the device that you want to use with AirPlay.
  3. Click on the “Show mirror options in the menu bar when available” checkbox to enable the AirPlay mirroring menu in the menu bar.
  4. Click on the AirPlay icon in the menu bar and select the device that you want to use with AirPlay.
  5. From the AirPlay options menu, select the “Mirror Built-in Retina Display” or “Use as Separate Display” option, depending on your preference.

Once you have set up AirPlay, you should be able to see your Mac’s screen on the TV or other device that you selected.

You can then use your Mac as usual, and whatever you do on your Mac will be mirrored on the TV or other AirPlay-enabled device.
