Airplay For Mac

Watch. Listen. Share. AirPlay lets you do it all.

Calendar for march 2019. AirPlay is a technology created by Apple that lets you stream the display signal from your Mac to your second- or third-generation Apple TV. AirServer turns your Mac into a universal mirroring receiver, with the exception of Miracast, allowing you to mirror your device's display using the built-in AirPlay or Google Cast based screen projection functionality; one by one or simultaneously to AirServer.

  1. Another Mac-only feature of AirPlay is the ability for computers to receive AirPlay streams, not just send them. Some Macs running recent versions of macOS X can function like speakers or an Apple TV. Just send audio or video from an iPhone or iPad to that Mac and it can play the content.
  2. Many MacBooks - specifically MacBook Airs that were manufactured after mid-2011 and MacBook Pros manufactured after early 2011 - support AirPlay Mirroring technology. This feature enables wireless audio and video sharing with another compatible iOS or OS X device, and you can turn it on using the AirPlay icon located in the notifications bar at the top of your screen.

AirPlay lets you share videos, photos, music, and more from Apple devices to your Apple TV, favorite speakers, and popular smart TVs. And what you share always stays personal and private. So sit back and enjoy everything you love — in more places than ever.

And just like that, it’s on TV.

Simply tap the AirPlay icon on your Apple device and share almost anything — the latest movies, home videos, vacation photos, presentations — to your Apple TV or AirPlay 2–enabled smart TV.

AirPlay 2–enabled TVs. Now that’s smart.

Leading TV manufacturers are integrating AirPlay 2 directly into their TVs, so now you can effortlessly share or mirror almost anything from your iOS device or Mac directly to your AirPlay 2–enabled smart TV. You can even play music on the TV and sync it with other AirPlay 2–compatible speakers anywhere in your home.

When bigger is better, mirror it.

AirPlay mirroring lets you share what’s on your Apple device — websites, presentations, spreadsheets — with everyone in the room on a bigger screen.

Put Siri in charge of your TV.

With AirPlay 2 and HomeKit, you can use Siri on your iPhone to send a video to your TV.1 Better yet, ask Siri to play a specific show in a specific room.

When Siri suggests a show to watch — on the Lock screen or in search — it will also include an option to use AirPlay. So one quick tap on a Siri suggestion, and you’re watching your favorite show on your favorite screen.

New

You pick the show. AirPlay picks the TV.

Now AirPlay can automatically play movies and shows in the places you’re most likely to watch them. Over time, AirPlay learns where you prefer to watch TV, and can start playing to the TV in that room with just a tap.

Your audio. Your way.

With AirPlay 2, you’re in control of your audio. And if you have more than one HomePod or AirPlay 2–enabled speaker, you can enjoy your favorite music or podcasts throughout your house — in perfect sync. You can even play different songs in different rooms.

HomePod and AirPlay. The perfect duet.

HomePod is a breakthrough speaker that uses AirPlay 2 to control music throughout your home — from whatever room you’re in. Together with Siri, it creates an entirely new way to discover and interact with music.

AirPlay 2. Now in more speakers than ever.

Major speaker manufacturers are incorporating AirPlay 2 into their home audio products. And every AirPlay 2–enabled speaker works with the Home app on iOS and macOS.
