How to AirPlay Safari from iPhone, iPad, and Mac

How to use airplay (screen mirroring) on a mac.

Cut the cords and make a big-screen wireless scene with AirPlay.

Quick Links

What is airplay, you'll need an airplay-compatible receiving device, share your screen on macos 11 big sur and later, share your screen on macos 10.15 catalina and earlier.

Thanks to AirPlay , you can wirelessly extend or mirror your Mac's screen to an external display such as an Apple TV, certain smart TVs, or other devices running AirPlay receiver software. Here's how to use it.

AirPlay is Apple's name for the company's proprietary wireless media streaming protocol. AirPlay lets Apple devices such as Macs, iPhones, and iPads stream audio and video over a local network to an AirPlay-compatible receiver device without the need for audio or video cables. It's similar to how  Miracast and Chromecast  work on Windows and Android devices.

One of the most useful features of AirPlay is that you can use it to share (project) your Mac's screen onto another display device. That's what we're going to explore in this article.

Related: AirPlay vs. Chromecast: What's the Difference?

Before we begin, we're going to assume that you already have at least one AirPlay-compatible receiver device connected to the same local network as your Mac. Compatible devices include Apple TV , certain brands of smart TV sets , and other devices running AirPlay receiver software .

To share your screen using AirPlay on a Mac running macOS 11 Big Sur or later, first, click the Control Center icon located in the upper-right corner of your screen (in the menu bar). It looks like two tiny toggle switches.

When Control Center appears, click "Screen Mirroring."

Next, you'll see a list of AirPlay-compatible devices that your Mac has discovered on your network. Click one of them to begin mirroring.

(It's worth noting that you will see different AirPlay receiver names than those listed in our example. We're using an Amazon Fire TV running third-party AirPlay receiver software.)

While you're connected and actively sharing your screen, the Screen Mirroring icon in the menu bar will turn blue (It looks like one rectangle overlapping another.).

At any time, click the Screen Mirroring icon to view the status of the connection or to switch from mirroring to "Use As Separate Display" mode, which will treat the AirPlay display as if it were a second monitor hooked to your Mac.

To disconnect and stop sharing your screen, click the Screen Mirroring icon (or click "Screen Mirroring" in Control Center) and click the receiving device name whose icon is highlighted in blue.

After that, you'll stop screen-sharing. You can also control screen-sharing in System Preferences using the Displays > AirPlay Display menu.

If you want to mirror your Mac's screen with an AirPlay-compatible device (such as an Apple TV ) and you're running macOS 10.15 Catalina or earlier, you'll need to do things slightly differently than you would with macOS 11.

First, look for the AirPlay icon (which looks like a rectangle with a small triangle over it) in the menu bar at the top of your screen.

If you don't see the AirPlay icon in your menu bar, navigate to System Preferences > Displays and place a check mark beside "Show mirroring options in the menu bar when available."

Next, close System Preferences and click the AirPlay icon in your menu bar. Select the device that you'd like to screen-share with from the menu that appears.

If the device that you want to project to isn't listed, make sure that both your Mac and the receiving device are connected to the same Wi-Fi access point or local area network.

Once you're connected, the AirPlay icon in your menu bar will turn blue. Click the AirPlay icon to check the status of the AirPlay connection. You can also change the screen-sharing mode from mirroring to "Use As Separate Display," which will use the AirPlay display like a second monitor.

To disconnect, select "Stop AirPlay."

Whenever you need to mirror your display again, AirPlay will be only a click away in your menu bar. Have fun!

Stream a video straight from your iPhone to your TV

By Aliya Chaudhry

Share this story

If you want to cast a video from your iPhone to your TV, or if you want to watch YouTube on a larger screen, AirPlay, Apple’s casting feature, will help you do that . AirPlay allows you to wirelessly cast audio or video from your iPhone, iPad, or Mac to an Apple TV or an AirPlay 2-compatible smart TV , as long as your device is connected to the same Wi-Fi as the TV.

You can stream videos from any iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, or Mac. You can even stream video from a Windows PC, but only through iTunes. Just make sure your device’s operating system is relatively recent (a list of the various OS requirements can be found here ).

With the latest version , AirPlay 2, you can also stream audio to multiple rooms, decide which room to play it in, and pair speakers. Here’s how to stream audio using AirPlay .

Here’s how to use AirPlay to cast videos from your iPhone, your Mac, and your Windows PC.

Use AirPlay on your iPhone

These instructions are specifically for an iPhone, but the steps are similar for an iPad or an iPod touch. The biggest differences in the procedure depend on what app you’re playing video from. You’ll have to follow one of two sets of steps:

• If you see an AirPlay button — which looks like a rectangle with an arrow pointing up at the bottom — when you open up the app or a video in the app, tap on that to use AirPlay. For example, in the YouTube app for iPad, there will be an AirPlay button in the bottom right corner of the video.
• If you don’t see an AirPlay button, then you’ll need to select the app’s option for casting, sharing, or playing content on a different device, and then tap the AirPlay option. For example, in the YouTube app for iPhone, you would tap the cast button at the top of the screen (it looks like a rectangle with a Wi-Fi symbol coming out of the bottom left corner) and then tap “AirPlay & Bluetooth devices.” In Photos, tap the share button (which looks like a square with an arrow coming out of the top). Then, scroll down and tap AirPlay.

• For either type of app, tap the device you want to use AirPlay with.

• Your TV may display a code. Enter that in the box on your phone’s screen and tap OK.
• Now you’re casting your video to your TV via AirPlay.

• To stop casting, open up the AirPlay window in the same way you accessed it above (again, this will differ depending on the app) and tap “iPhone” on the list of devices. This will return your feed from the TV back to your iPhone. In Photos, you’ll have to tap the AirPlay icon in the top right corner and then “My Device.”

Use Airplay on your Mac

• Open up the video you’d like to cast to your TV.
• Click on the AirPlay button. Often (but not always) you’ll find it in the bottom right corner of the video. (We found that it was best to access YouTube through Safari rather than Chrome.)
• Select the device you’d like to cast your video to from the drop-down options.

• Your Mac may ask you for the code displayed on your TV. Enter it into the pop-up window.
• When you want to stop casting, click on the same AirPlay button you clicked on earlier to start AirPlay. Then click “Turn off AirPlay” from the drop-down menu.

Using AirPlay on your PC

You can use AirPlay on your Windows PC, but only for content on iTunes. To do that:

• Open iTunes and start playing a video.
• Click on the AirPlay button in the bottom left-hand corner of the screen.
• Select the device from which you want to watch.
• You may be prompted to enter a code. If so, enter the code on your TV into the pop-up window on your PC.
• You should now be watching your video on your TV.

• To stop AirPlay, click on the AirPlay button again and then select “My Computer.”

There is another way to cast video to your TV: by using screen mirroring to cast your entire screen to your TV. We’ll walk through those steps in an upcoming article.

How to AirPlay Videos to a Mac With iOS 15 and macOS Monterey

The large screen on your Mac makes it much better for watching videos than your iPhone, so here's how to wirelessly AirPlay content to a Mac.

Apple's huge macOS Monterey update brings a feature that the Mac has been missing out on for years: You can now use your Mac as an AirPlay receiver device. This means you can stream content to your Mac right from your iPhone, iPad, or even another Mac.

Previously, Apple limited AirPlay receiver functionality to the Apple TV, HomePod, and select third-party AirPlay-compatible smart TVs, but not anymore. Here, we'll look at how you can AirPlay videos and music to a Mac from your iPhone or iPad.

What Is AirPlay?

Let's start with the basics since not everyone knows what AirPlay is. In the simplest terms, AirPlay lets you wirelessly play content from one device on another.

You can use AirPlay to stream videos, music, photos, and even mirror the screen from your iPhone or iPad. While AirPlay has been around for a decade on Mac, you were always limited to streaming content away from the Mac. But Apple has finally added AirPlay receiver functionality to Macs with the macOS Monterey update, which means that will all change.

How to AirPlay to a Mac From an iPhone

Before you go ahead, we want to quickly point out that not all Macs that can run macOS Monterey support this feature. Apple limits the AirPlay receiver functionality to the following computers:

• MacBook Pro (2018 and later)
• MacBook Air (2018 and later)
• iMac (2019 and later)
• iMac Pro (2017)
• Mac mini (2020 and later)
• Mac Pro (2019).

Also, you need a Wi-Fi connection to use AirPlay.

Once you've updated your devices to iOS 15 or iPadOS 15 and macOS Monterey, follow these simple instructions to AirPlay video from your iPhone or iPad to your Mac:

• First, you need to load a native video player on your iPhone or iPad. For example, you can try the Apple TV app or load a video in Safari. Of course, you can also use any third-party app that supports streaming content, too.
• Once you're in the player, tap on the AirPlay icon.
• You'll find your Mac under the list of AirPlay-ready devices. Select your Mac and wait a second.

The video playback will now pause on your iPhone or iPad and resume on your Mac. You don't have to open anything specific on your Mac, as it all happens automatically. However, if you can't see your Mac under the list of AirPlay devices, make sure your Mac is unlocked and try again.

When you're done streaming to your Mac, you can tap on the AirPlay icon again and choose your iPhone from the list.

How to Mirror Your iPhone's Screen on Your Mac

Although most people would use AirPlay to Mac for streaming content from their iPhones, some users would want to mirror the entire iPhone screen. This option may be necessary if a particular app doesn't support AirPlay or you want to play mobile games on a bigger screen.

Once you've updated to iOS 15 and macOS Monterey, here's what you need to do to mirror your iPhone to your Mac:

• Open the Control Center on your iPhone or iPad.
• Tap on the Screen Mirroring toggle.
• Now, select your Mac from the list of AirPlay-compatible devices.

Within a second or two, your Mac desktop will display the same content as your iPhone. When you're done mirroring the screen, simply tap on Stop Mirroring to quit the AirPlay session.

You'll notice a minor lag due to the wireless connection, but you can get rid of this latency by connecting your iPhone to the Mac using a USB cable. AirPlay works over a wired connection as well.

Send and Receive AirPlay Content on Your Mac

Thanks to macOS Monterey, your Mac is finally an AirPlay receiver. This is a feature long-time Mac users have patiently waited for. While we covered the steps for the iPhone and iPad here, you can AirPlay from another Mac too. The steps you need to follow are pretty similar, even if it's a different operating system. All you need to do is look for the AirPlay icon or access the screen mirroring option from the macOS Control Center.

How to use AirPlay 2 on your Mac: Stream music and video

Stream to speakers and Apple TV

AirPlay is one of those Apple features that, once you’re using it, you wonder how you got by without it. And now with AirPlay 2, it’s possible to stream to multiple speakers across your home at once. Oh, and Apple TV too, of course.

Most of Apple’s devices come with AirPlay support – iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch, Mac, HomePod and the Apple TV. However the process of streaming over AirPlay 2 is a little different across devices.

Read this: The best AirPlay 2 speakers

Head to our full AirPlay 2 explainer for more on the platform as a whole. Below, we’re going to talk about the Mac specifically, and how you can use AirPlay to stream music and video from your computer to speakers or to the Apple TV.

How to stream AirPlay video on Mac to Apple TV

AirPlay is on by default on Mac, but you might not be able to see it. There are two ways to stream over AirPlay from the Mac – either video or audio. With video, you can only stream to Apple TV right now, however this year, for the first time, Apple is bringing AirPlay 2 to third-party TVs, including sets from Samsung, Sony and LG, which will all work as AirPlay receivers..

For the time being, how do you stream to your Apple TV from a Mac? There should be an AirPlay icon in the menu bar at the top-right of the Mac screen (it’s the rectangle with the triangle). Click it, and then select your Apple TV from the list.

If you don’t see it, it means you’ve got the shortcut button disabled. To make it appear, do the following…

1. Open System Preferences . 2. Click on Displays . 3. You’ll see a box where it says “Show mirroring options in the menu bar when available”. Tick the box and you should now see the icon.

Once you’ve selected your Apple TV, you’ll see three new options appear in that same drop-down menu…

Mirror Built-In Display : This will mirror your Mac in its native resolution. Mirror Apple TV : This will resize the resolution to match the TV. Use as Separate Display : This means your TV will work as an additional display for your Mac, rather than a direct mirror.

How to AirPlay YouTube videos from Mac to Apple TV

Say you’re watching a YouTube video on your Mac and you wished you could share it on the big screen – well you can. If you have an Apple TV, here’s how to send a video from your Mac over to it.

1. Open the YouTube video in Safari. Apple keeps AirPlay locked to its own browser. 2. Click the AirPlay icon at the bottom-right of the video. 3. Select your Apple TV.

How to AirPlay music on Mac

Ok, so there are multiple ways to do this, some more obvious than others. While iTunes now supports AirPlay 2, there might be times you’ll want to stream audio from other programs or from the browser – a podcast on YouTube, for example.

The good news is that you can mirror the audio from your Mac; however (for now) this only works on the original AirPlay protocol, meaning you can only stream to one speaker at a time. It’s possible Apple will open this up to all system audio in the future.

For the time being, you can stream audio to an AirPlay speaker by clicking the speaker icon in the top menu. However, again, that icon may not be there for you. Here’s what you need to do.

1. Open System Preferences . 2. Click Sound . 3. Click on Output .

Any AirPlay speakers on the same network will appear here. Click on one and the audio from your Mac will start streaming there instead. Pro tip: Click “Show volume in menu bar” to put the shortcut in the top menu. From there, you can just click the speaker icon at any time and you’ll see your list of AirPlay speakers to choose from.

Also (helpfully), despite this broadcasting all system audio, it will avoid pushing multiple audio streams through to the speaker. So if you’re playing something on iTunes and switch to YouTube, it will stop playing the iTunes stream on the speaker and switch to the YouTube video instead.

How to AirPlay music from iTunes on Mac

Apple brought AirPlay 2 to the Mac with the launch of macOS High Sierra 10.13.6, but only to iTunes for the time being. And using AirPlay 2 on iTunes is as easy to use as it is from an iPhone or iPad.

When you’re in iTunes, simply click the AirPlay icon, which you’ll find just to the right of the volume bar. When you click it, you’ll see a list of your AirPlay speakers, each with their own checkbox. Just tick the boxes of the speakers you want to stream to.

iOS 17 AirPlay Features

With the iOS 17 update, Apple is updating and refining almost every iPhone app and feature, and that includes AirPlay . ‌AirPlay‌ is Apple's wireless communication protocol that allows music and video content from iPhones, iPads, and Macs to be beamed to devices like the Apple TV , HomePod , and third-party speakers, smart TVs, set-top boxes, and receivers.

AirPlay Preferences

‌iOS 17‌ improves on-device intelligence for ‌AirPlay‌, and it is able to better learn your preferences over time. If you typically ‌AirPlay‌ from your ‌iPhone‌ to the ‌Apple TV‌ in the living room, it will learn that behavior and show the ‌Apple TV‌ first in your ‌AirPlay‌ list over other ‌AirPlay‌ devices that may be in the home.

The ‌AirPlay‌ interface is smarter from the outset, and it shows the devices that are located closest to you first rather than offering up a more arbitrary list. The ‌AirPlay‌ interface also makes it clearer which device content is AirPlaying to and whether ‌AirPlay‌ is active.

Automatic AirPlay

The Automatic ‌AirPlay‌ feature that was available for TVs in iOS 16 has expanded to include speakers as well in ‌iOS 17‌. You can opt in to have the ‌iPhone‌ automatically connect to nearby speakers and TVs when playing content from apps that you regularly use with ‌AirPlay‌.

AirPlay in Hotel Rooms

Apple is teaming up with hotel chains and TV manufacturers to introduce smart TV sets that will let hotel guests automatically ‌AirPlay‌ content from their Apple devices to the hotel TV.

IHG Hotels and Resorts will be the first hotel company to bring ‌AirPlay‌ to its hotels, and LG plans to introduce AirPlay-compatible smart TVs designed specifically for use in hotels.

You can get more information on the changes coming in ‌iOS 17‌ in our comprehensive iOS 17 roundup .

Top Rated Comments

Is Airplay still limited to 24/48? I'd like to see an updated Airplay that allows streaming the full bandwidth of high resolution files in Apple Music (24/192). Also, Apple, please fix the auto sample/bit rate changing in macOS, why does it work in iOS but not macOS??!!

Keep in mind that this section applies to streaming content through Airplay. (The next section addresses screen mirroring via Airplay.)

Not all Roku models will support the AirPlay function. For reference, here are the ones that do:

The following devices must be running Roku OS 9.4 or higher

• Roku TV models Axxxx, Cxxxx, CxxGB, and 7xxxx (where x equals any model number)
• Roku Streambar model 9102
• Roku Streambar Pro model 9101R2
• Roku Smart Soundbar models 9100 and 9101
• Roku Streaming Stick+ models 3810 and 3811
• Roku Streaming Stick 4K model 3820
• Roku Streaming Stick 4K+ model 3821
• Roku Express 4K model 3940
• Roku Express 4K+ model 3941
• Roku Premiere models 3920 and 4620
• Roku Premiere+ models 3921 and 4630
• Roku Ultra models  4600, 4640, 4660, 4661, 4670, and 4800 
• Roku Ultra LT models 4662 and 4801

The following devices must be running Roku OS 10.0 or higher

• Roku TV model Dxxxx and 8xxxx (where x equals any model number)
• Roku Streaming Stick models 3600, 3800, and 3801
• Roku Express models 3900, 3930, and 3801
• Roku Express+ models 3910 and 3931
• Roku HD model 3932
• Roku 2 models 4205 and 4210
• Roku 3 models 4200, 4201, and 4230

For this to work, you'll also need an Apple device that supports AirPlay, which is any iPhone, iPad, or iTouch running iOS 12.3 or later, or any Mac computer running MacOS Mojave 10.14.5 or later.

On your iPhone or iPad, find the song, video, photo, podcast, or other media you'd like to stream to your TV. 

The next step changes depending on what app you're trying to stream from. Here are some of the most common examples:

From Spotify 

1. Tap Devices , located in the bottom-left corner of the screen.

2. In the Listening On menu, tap AirPlay or Bluetooth .

3. Tap the name of your Roku TV.

From the Apple Music app

1. Tap the AirPlay button at the bottom-center of the screen (the icon looks like three concentric circles with a triangle underneath).

2. Tap the name of your device.

From the Photos app

1. Tap the Share button, located in the bottom-left corner.

2. Scroll down on the Share menu until you see AirPlay , and tap it.

3. Tap the name of your TV in the pop-up.

From Hulu, HBO Max, Amazon Prime Video, and other mobile streaming apps

1. On the mobile app, begin playing the video you want to watch.

2. Tap the AirPlay icon at the top of the video screen (the icon looks like a square with a triangle underneath it).

3. In the pop-up, select your Roku device from the list of compatible AirPlay devices.

You can also mirror your iPhone to a Roku device via the Roku app. This is accessed through  the Control Center on your device.

1. Open the Control Center on your device. On most recent devices, the Control Center can be accessed by swiping down from the upper-right corner of your home screen or lock screen. On older devices (those without a home button), access the Control Center by swiping up from the bottom of the home screen or lock screen.

2. Tap Screen Mirroring in the Control Center. 

3. In the pop-up, select the name of your Roku device.

An AirPlay passcode may appear on your Roku screen — if so, enter the code in the pop-up on your iPhone or iPad.

4. Your entire iPhone or iPad screen should then begin mirroring onto your Roku.

Similarly to the previous section, you can also screen mirror from your Mac to a Roku device . 

1. Make sure the AirPlay option is turned on on your Mac computer.

2. If you don't see the AirPlay icon (a square with a triangle popping out of it) in the menu bar at the top of your screen, open System Preferences and select Displays .

3. At the bottom of the Displays page, check the box next to Show mirroring options in the menu bar when available .

4. Once the AirPlay option is turned on and you're in range of your Roku TV, you can then click the AirPlay button in the menu bar at the top of your screen and select your Roku device from the list.

5. An AirPlay passcode may appear on your Roku screen — if so, enter the code in the pop-up on your Mac.

6. Your entire Mac screen should then begin mirroring onto your Roku.

There are several reasons why AirPlay may not be working for you. For example, your device might be out of date, your internet connection is too slow, or your devices might not be connected to the same WiFi signal.

Here are a few tips to help you troubleshoot the issue:

• Try restarting or resetting your Roku device.
• Verify that both devices are using the same internet source.
• Double-check that you've set up AirPlay correctly on your devices.
• Restart your router and/or modem.

How to Get AirPlay on Older Macs

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.

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. As well as beaming movies and music from iTunes, more recent Macs let you use AirPlay mirroring to extend or duplicate your Mac’s desktop to your TV. Mirroring can be really useful, letting you show presentations, slideshows, or movies on a big screen without the need for wires; or you can use your HDTV as a second computer monitor, again without wiring. Older Macs, however, can’t stream AirPlay video out of the box, because Apple restricts mirroring to newer models, citing hardware requirements.

AirParrot is an inexpensive app ($9.99) that unlocks the ability to mirror audio and video over AirPlay on a wide range of older machines (see below), and it even offers features that Apple does not. It lets you, for example, mirror a specific app to the TV while still using your Mac desktop as normal, and also lets you set variable video quality and framerates so you can tailor the connection. On older, less powerful Macs, this means you should still get good results by dropping the data rate down a little. There’s nothing to stop you using AirParrot even on a newer AirPlay-compatible Mac, of course. You can purchase AirParrot here .

Note: AirParrot will run on any Core 2 Duo or higher Mac with OS X 10.6.8 or later. If you have one of the following Macs or newer, you can do AirPlay mirroring natively in OS X: iMac (Mid 2011), Mac mini (Mid 2011), MacBook Air (Mid 2011), MacBook Pro (Early 2011), Mac Pro (Late 2013).

1. Connect to the Apple TV

After installing the app, its icon will appear in the menu bar. If you have an Apple TV device on your wireless network, it should appear under the Devices section in the menu. Click on the Apple TV device and your Mac should begin mirroring the desktop.

2. Extend Your Desktop

The Display section shows information about connected displays and built-in screens. If you choose Extend Desktop, your TV will become part of the desktop, at a higher resolution in our case, above. You should be able to move the cursor from Mac to TV.

3. Extend Just One App

Using the Specific App option, you can send an app’s window to the Apple TV and thus to your television, and leave your Mac’s desktop working as normal. This is ideal for sending a presentation or slideshows to a screen while still working on your Mac.

4. Choose a Document to Mirror

AirParrot will only send an app to your TV when that app has a window open on the screen. If the app is hidden or has no open windows, it won’t appear. With some apps onscreen, click on the Specific App option and you’ll see you can choose specific open documents.

5. Install the Audio Driver

Any sound you play will come out of your Mac and not the connected TV. To change this, go to Enable Audio. The first time you do this, you will be prompted to install the driver and restart your Mac. Clicking Enable Audio will then stream both sound and video.

6. Tweak the Quality/Data Rate

In the AirParrot menu, go to the Preferences option to open the preferences window. If you get choppy streaming, experiment with lowering the video quality and framerates. Bear in mind that dropping the framerate too far makes viewing video more difficult.

7. Stretch Apps to Fill the TV

In the Preferences menu is an option to force the streamed output to 720p resolution if streaming to a third-generation Apple TV at 1080p is slow. You can also stretch apps during streaming to fill the Apple TV screen, if the aspect ratio of the screens mismatch.

8. Tweak for Presentation Mode

The final options are Compatibility Mode, which helps fix glitches on some OS X 10.6-based systems, and the option to hide the Notification Center in the streamed signal. This is important if you’re giving a presentation. You can also hide the mouse cursor here.

What is AirPlay 2? Apple’s wireless sharing system explained

W ireless connectivity is all around us. From Bluetooth and Wi-Fi, to Chromecast , there’s no shortage of ways to beam content from your smartphone , tablet , or desktop PC to devices like wireless speakers, smart TVs, and streaming devices. In fact, did you know that Apple has its very own wireless protocol? It’s called AirPlay, and the feature debuted back in 2010.

In 2018, Apple upgraded to AirPlay 2. Built into most Macs, iPhones , and iPads , AirPlay 2 allows you to stream music, photos, and videos, but that’s just scratching the surface of what Apple’s wire-free handshake is all about. Interested in learning more? We’ve put together this guide to teach you everything we know about AirPlay 2.

What is AirPlay anyway?

Originally debuting in 2004 as AirTunes, AirPlay is Apple’s proprietary streaming protocol designed to allow users to “throw” audio and video signals from one “sender” device to one “receiver” device. Streamed content includes music, video, photos, and screen sharing, all of which retain their metadata when sent via AirPlay.

Back then, sender devices included Windows computers running Apple Music, iOS devices including iPhones, iPods, and iPads, and Mac computers running macOS X Mountain Lion or later (depending upon the processor).

Receiver devices included Apple’s long-discontinued AirPort Express routers, but now include Apple TV , Apple’s HomePod, HomePod Gen 2 , HomePod Mini, Mac computers with Monterey macOS or newer installed, and a wide variety of supported third-party wireless speakers, as well as a number of smart TV platforms .

AirPlay also lets you “mirror” the screen of an iOS/iPadOS/macOS device to an Apple TV so that you don’t end up with a group of people huddling around a tiny screen just to see a map, photo, video, etc.

What does AirPlay 2 do?

Announced in 2017, AirPlay 2 builds on the original AirPlay feature set and lets you exert more control over AirPlay devices through Apple’s HomeKit platform. With it, you can:

• Stream music to multiple AirPlay 2-compatible speakers simultaneously, creating a true multiroom streaming system. Under the original AirPlay, only one could be used at a time.
• Apple Home compatibility. You can use the Home app to label these AirPlay 2 devices and add them to rooms and scenes, which can then be automated. For fans of Apple’s Siri voice assistant, this is a big deal because Siri can control any devices that HomeKit recognizes. Initially, this only worked with an Apple Music subscription, but Apple has been adding support, including Deezer , Spotify, Pandora, and more.
• If you own two of Apple’s HomePods  or HomePod Minis, you can use AirPlay 2 to set them up as a stereo pair.
• As with AirPlay, AirPlay 2 supports lossless, 16-bit/44.1kHz CD-quality audio streams — one of several levels of lossless audio now offered by Apple Music. None of Apple’s wireless headphones are compatible with these formats, however wireless earbuds from other manufacturers are beginning to emerge which do support lossless audio over Bluetooth .
• AirPlay 2 can also be used to control streaming video, and on many more devices than just an Apple TV . Smart TV models from Samsung , LG, Vizio, Toshiba, and Sony are now AirPlay 2-compatible , as are all Roku TVs  and select 4K-capable Roku player devices . For some people, this will mean they no longer need an Apple TV device at all — especially as many of these same TVs will be getting Apple’s TV app too.

Other devices that support AirPlay 2 include multiple soundbars, smart thermostats like the Ecobee, and other smart speakers.

Does AirPlay work on all my Apple devices?

AirPlay 2 is baked into iOS, iPadOS, and macOS, so whether you’re using an Apple mobile device or computer, you’ll have full control of audio playback. The same goes for the Apple TV and Apple TV 4K streaming devices. Apple’s tvOS turns your Apple TV into a “sender” device for audio, so if you’re playing a movie on Apple TV, you can turn every AirPlay 2 speaker in your home into an expanded home theater sound system — a handy feature for those without a dedicated soundbar or 5.1 home theater system.

With the macOS Monterey update, Apple has also added the ability to AirPlay directly from another Apple device, like an iPhone or iPad , directly to your Mac. This can be used to show media on a larger screen if you want to share it with an audience, among other purposes. This macOS support is only available on Mac models sold within the last few years but works on MacBooks, iMacs, the Mac Mini, and more.

How is AirPlay 2 different than Bluetooth?

Although AirPlay and Bluetooth both allow audio to be streamed wirelessly, there are several important differences:

• Despite the name, AirPlay and AirPlay 2 will work over any IP network connection, whether wired or wireless (Wi-Fi). The only rule is that all AirPlay devices must be on the same network.
• Bluetooth can directly connect devices wirelessly without needing a common IP-based network.
• AirPlay is proprietary to Apple. At the moment, the company only allows Apple devices to use AirPlay to stream media. Bluetooth is an open standard. Any company can choose to incorporate Bluetooth streaming into its devices.
• AirPlay can send video as well as audio, while Bluetooth only works with audio.
• But because AirPlay uses Wi-Fi and Ethernet, it has more bandwidth to work with and can thus support higher-quality audio streaming than Bluetooth.
• Bluetooth wireless range is shorter than Wi-Fi and has a harder time penetrating walls and other obstacles.
• You can use a Bluetooth speaker as a speakerphone if it’s got a mic, and some will let you create stereo pairs over Bluetooth. AirPlay doesn’t have the same mic-oriented features.
• Bluetooth is a more universal standard and is used to pair keyboards, mice, and much more. AirPlay is focused on streaming media.

Which devices work with AirPlay 2?

As previously mentioned, the list of AirPlay 2 sender devices is fairly short, comprising mostly iOS devices (they’ll need iOS 11 or later) and Mac computers (macOS 10.13 or later) — it won’t work on any devices made before 2011.

The list of receiver devices, on the other hand, is growing rapidly, and by our count, includes many brands of wireless speakers and AV receivers , plus a growing selection of TV brands. AirPlay 2 has been expanding its reach in the streaming world as well, thanks to Roku device support.

Here are just a few of the companies that already support AirPlay 2 on some of their products:

• Amazon Omni and Fire TV
• Bang & Olufsen
• Bowers & Wilkins
• Definitive Technology

As you might expect, this is likely just a small fraction of the companies that plan to add Airplay 2 support to their products eventually. Plus, some existing apps and products can be updated to support AirPlay 2, in addition to newly developed apps and products.

So, if you have some swanky, Wi-Fi-enabled B&W speakers, don’t sell them just yet!

How to start using AirPlay 2

If you have compatible devices, using AirPlay 2 is very easy, but there are several different ways to do it.

Using AirPlay to screen mirror

On an iOS/iPad OS device, access the Control Center and select the two interconnected rectangles icon. This will bring up a list of available screen mirroring devices on your network, like an Apple TV or a compatible Mac. Select the one you want.

Using AirPlay to stream video

Inside an AirPlay-compatible app on an iOS/iPad OS device, begin to play a video. Tapping the screen once should reveal a set of icons in the top-right corner. Look for the rectangle with a triangle pointing into the bottom and select it. It should bring up a list of available video AirPlay devices on your network, like an Apple TV or a compatible Mac. Select the one you want.

Using AirPlay to stream audio

There are two ways to AirPlay audio on an iOS/iPad OS device. If your app supports AirPlay, on the Now Playing screen, you may see a triangle with a radiating series of concentric rings. Selecting that icon will bring up a list of available AirPlay audio devices on your network, like a wireless speaker or an AirPlay-compatible AV receiver. Select the one you want.

If your app does not support direct AirPlay streaming, you can create an AirPlay connection to a compatible speaker using the Control Center. Look for a media control panel that has the same triangle with radiating concentric rings icon, and select it. That will bring up a list of available AirPlay audio devices on your network, like a wireless speaker or an AirPlay-compatible AV receiver. Select the one you want.

On a Mac, AirPlay audio options are found in the Sound menu. This is often available from the Mac’s top menu bar, but if the icon isn’t there, you can access it from the System Preferences app. Select the AirPlay device you want from the list.

AirPlay 2 compatibility issues

AirPlay 2 compatibility can vary, and some devices may age out of AirPlay compatibility, especially when it comes to new features. This is least likely with Apple’s own devices, but issues can still crop up. For example, when iOS 16 was released, updated iPhones lost AirPlay 2 compatibility with some of the oldest Apple TVs from 2010 and 2012. It’s still uncertain if this is intentional or not, but if you’re working with devices that are a decade old or more, know that you may run into some operational issues.

Safari can now stream 4K HDR and Dolby Vision content on Netflix with macOS Big Sur

We recently mentioned that macOS Big Sur includes a new version of Safari with several enhancements, including support for HDR videos. It turns out there’s a platform that’s already benefiting from these Safari updates, as users can now finally watch 4K HDR content on Netflix with a Mac.

Netflix has been offering 4K content for a long time, but Mac users have never been able to watch them due to hardware limitations, since the platform relies on the HEVC codec.

Even after Apple launched new Mac models fully compatible with HEVC, Apple hasn’t updated Safari to support the new technology, which is one of the main reasons for Netflix to limit its content to 1080p resolution on macOS.

With macOS Big Sur, which is currently available as a beta developer, Mac users can finally watch movies and TV shows on Netflix in 4K resolution. It also works with Dolby Vision and HDR10, which delivers more brilliant and vivid colors.

Unfortunately, according to Apple , the 4K High Dynamic Range stream requires a Mac introduced in 2018 or later. That means older Macs can only play 1080p videos on Netflix, even with macOS Big Sur installed.

Apple has also enabled the VP9 codec for apps on iOS 14 and tvOS 14, which allows users to watch 4K HDR videos on YouTube for the first time, but Safari 14 is yet to get this codec.

As AirPlay 2 now supports 4K video streaming on iOS 14 and macOS Big Sur, it makes sense that Apple is committed to enabling such content across all its platforms.

OMG! Netflix on macOS Big Sur's Safari browser just gave me 4K Stream with Dolby Vision on MacBook Pro! Earlier it was just 1080p with Dolby Vision. This is amazing. 😌 pic.twitter.com/afUQPeKisI — Ishan Agarwal (@ishanagarwal24) June 28, 2020
