Can Airplay screen mirror?｜BJCast

Yes, AirPlay can achieve screen mirroring. AirPlay is a wireless transmission protocol provided by Apple Inc., which allows users to wirelessly transfer audio, video, and screen content from one Apple device (such as iPhone, iPad, Mac, etc.) to another device that supports AirPlay, such as Apple TV, compatible smart TVs, or other screen mirroring display devices.

The steps for using AirPlay for screen mirroring typically include the following:

Ensure device connectivity: Firstly, make sure that both your Apple device and the target projection device are connected to the same Wi Fi network. This is a prerequisite for using AirPlay for wireless screen mirroring.

Open Control Center: On an Apple device, swipe down from the top right corner (for newer devices) or bottom (for older devices) of the screen to open Control Center.
Select “Screen Mirroring”: In the Control Center, find and click on “Screen Mirroring” or similar options.

Select screen casting device: The system will start searching for available screen casting devices. Find your target device (such as Apple TV or smart TV) in the list and click on it to connect. If the target device has a password set, you may need to enter the password on your Apple device to complete the connection.

Once the connection is successful, the screen content of your Apple device will be displayed in real-time on the target projection device. At this point, you can use your Apple device as usual, and the content on the screen will be synchronized and displayed on the screen mirroring device.

In addition, in addition to using AirPlay for wireless screen mirroring, Apple devices also support screen mirroring through wired methods such as HDMI adapters. This method is usually more stable and not affected by wireless network quality. However, it should be noted that wired screen mirroring requires additional hardware support and may not be as convenient as wireless screen mirroring.

Overall, the AirPlay screen mirroring feature provides great convenience for Apple users and has been widely used in home entertainment, business presentations, and education.
