AirPlay mirroring is a feature that allows you to wirelessly display the screen of your Apple device (iPhone, iPad, or Mac) onto another display, such as a compatible smart TV or Apple TV. Here’s a breakdown of what it entails:

What is AirPlay Mirroring?

• Essentially, it’s a way to replicate what’s on your Apple device’s screen onto a larger display.
• This differs from simply streaming content via AirPlay. When you stream, you’re sending the video or audio signal to the other device. When you mirror, you’re sending a live feed of your entire screen.

Key Features and Uses:

• Sharing Presentations: Displaying presentations from your MacBook or iPad on a larger screen.
• Watching Photos and Videos: Showing photos and videos from your iPhone on your TV.
• Gaming: Playing mobile games on a bigger screen.
• Web Browsing: Viewing websites on your TV.
• App Mirroring: Displaying any app on your device’s screen onto the TV.

How AirPlay Mirroring Works:

• AirPlay uses your Wi-Fi network to wirelessly transmit the screen’s content to the receiving device.
• Both your Apple device and the receiving device must be on the same Wi-Fi network.

Important Considerations:

• Compatibility: AirPlay mirroring requires a compatible receiving device, such as an Apple TV or a smart TV with AirPlay 2 support.
• Wi-Fi Network: A strong and stable Wi-Fi network is essential for a smooth mirroring experience.
• Latency: There might be a slight delay (latency) between your Apple device’s screen and the mirrored display, especially on busy Wi-Fi networks.
