You can AirPlay to a TV to stream video, audio, or mirror your screen from your Apple devices (iPhone, iPad, Mac). Here’s a general guide on how to do it:

What you need:

• Apple Device: iPhone, iPad, or Mac running a recent version of their respective operating systems.
• Compatible TV:
  • Apple TV: 2nd generation or later.
  • AirPlay 2-compatible smart TV: Many newer models from brands like Samsung, LG, Sony, Vizio, Roku TV, and some Amazon Fire TV models support AirPlay 2. Check your TV’s specifications.
  • Mac: Running macOS Monterey or later (to receive AirPlay).
• Wi-Fi Network: Both your Apple device and the TV (or Apple TV/Mac) must be connected to the same Wi-Fi network.
