AirPlay is a useful feature that allows you to share your favorite TV shows, presentations, and family photos on the biggest screen in your house. It uses Wi-Fi to share content from your iPhone or iPad to your Apple TV, Smart TVs, speakers, and Mac computers that support AirPlay. You can either stream content directly from your iPhone or iPad or use screen mirroring to display everything on your screen without using cables or adapters.
Streaming with AirPlay means that you can display content like videos, photos, and music from compatible apps on your device onto another screen. You can keep using your iPhone or iPad while the video plays on the other display, and you can control the video as well, like playing, pausing, or fast-forwarding and rewinding.
Screen mirroring with AirPlay means that you can share exactly what is on the screen of your device on a larger display. Everything that appears on your device will be seen on the display in real-time, including content and apps, new messages, notifications, and more.
Before you start using AirPlay, make sure your iPhone and AirPlay device are connected to the same Wi-Fi network. From your iPhone or iPad, tap the screen or the pause button to show the video controls and tap the AirPlay button. Depending on the app you’re using, you might need to tap another button first, like share, then select the device you want to use with AirPlay.
If you’re streaming to an AirPlay device that isn’t signed in to your Apple ID, a code might appear on the display. Type in the code on your iPhone or iPad and tap OK. To stop streaming, just tap the AirPlay button again and then tap your device from the list.
If you’d like to show your entire iPhone or iPad screen on another display with AirPlay, you can use screen mirroring. Just open Control Center, tap screen mirroring, select the device you want to mirror to, and everything you do on your device will appear on your display.
In conclusion, AirPlay is a useful feature that allows you to share your content on the biggest screen in your house. Whether you want to stream a video or use screen mirroring, AirPlay can help you get the bigger picture when you want it. So go ahead and start using AirPlay today!
