Can Airplay work without wifi?｜AirPlay

AirPlay typically does not function properly in environments without WiFi. AirPlay is a wireless audio and video transmission technology introduced by Apple Inc., which allows Apple devices (such as iPhone, iPad, etc.) to share media content (such as videos, images, and music) with other devices that support AirPlay (such as TVs, speakers, projectors, etc.). The implementation of this technology relies on both devices being connected to the same WiFi network to ensure stable data transmission.

Specifically, when you want to use AirPlay to project content from your phone onto your TV, you need to ensure that both your phone and TV are connected to the same WiFi network. In this way, AirPlay can establish a connection between the phone and TV through WiFi network and transmit audio and video data.

AirPlay will not function properly in environments without WiFi, such as conference rooms or outdoor environments without network deployment. Because at this time, the phone and TV cannot connect to the same WiFi network, and therefore cannot establish an AirPlay connection.

Of course, in some cases, you may encounter devices that support connecting through Bluetooth or other wireless methods, but these methods usually do not support AirPlay. Therefore, if you want to use AirPlay functionality, it is best to ensure that all devices are connected to the same WiFi network.

In summary, AirPlay typically does not function properly in environments without WiFi, as it relies on WiFi networks for device connectivity and data transmission.
