Mac: Select “AirPlay mirroring” from the menu bar or use the screen mirroring feature (depending on the application you are using). Select your Roku device from the list and confirm the connection.
Shared content:
Once the connection is successful, you can share content from your Apple device to Roku. For example, you can wirelessly transfer photos, music, or videos from your iPhone or iPad to Roku devices for playback.
