For those who are unaware, AirPlay allows you to wirelessly screen mirror your Mac to a TV. This is pretty simple to accomplish with most modern Macs and TVs, as long as they both support this extremely useful feature.<\/p>

Here are some pointers to help you get started with Screen Mirroring or Airplay to share content from your Mac to a television. But while Apple’s implementation of these features is straightforward, its ultimate success may be determined by the type of television you use. Don’t be surprised if you need to download additional software for your TV, buy a third-party device, or if your TV is incapable of implementing this feature at all.<\/p>

What Exactly is Airplay?<\/span><\/h2>

AirPlay is Apple’s audio and video streaming technology that lets you stream movies or music from your Mac or iOS device to compatible speakers or a television. For example, you can start watching a movie on your Mac and then use AirPlay to send it to your TV to watch it on a larger screen.<\/p>

First, you’ll need an Apple TV box connected to your TV or a compatible smart TV in addition to a Mac. Recent smart TVs from LG, Sony, and Samsung, as well as Roku streaming devices, support AirPlay 2. Look for an AirPlay 2 logo on your TV’s box or instruction manual, or enter the model number into the manufacturer’s website to see if it’s compatible.<\/p>

Furthermore, your Mac and the Apple TV or AirPlay 2-compatible TV must be connected to the same Wi-Fi network. As long as those conditions are met, you should be able to AirPlay from your MacBook to your TV, though the method varies depending on the version of macOS your Mac is running.<\/p>
