AirPlay makes it quite convenient to cast videos from your Apple devices to compatible TVs and Macs. Here’s a breakdown of how to do it:

Key Requirements:

• Compatible Devices:
  • You’ll need an iPhone, iPad, or Mac.
  • The receiving device must be an Apple TV, an AirPlay 2-compatible smart TV, or a Mac that can receive AirPlay.
• Same Wi-Fi Network:
  • Both your Apple device and the receiving device must be connected to the same Wi-Fi network.

How to Cast Videos:

• From iPhone or iPad:
  • Find the Video: Open the app containing the video you want to cast (e.g., Photos, YouTube, a streaming service app).
  • Tap the AirPlay Icon:
    • Look for the AirPlay icon (it looks like a rectangle with a triangle pointing upwards).
    • In some apps, you might need to tap the Share button first, and then find the AirPlay option.
  • Select Your TV or Mac: Choose the device you want to cast to from the list.
  • Playback: The video will begin playing on your selected device.
• From a Mac:
  • Find the Video: Open the video file, or open the application that is playing the video.
  • Use the Airplay icon: In the playback controls of the video, there should be an airplay icon. Select the airplay icon, and then select the recieving device.
  • Control: Control the video from the mac that is sending the airplay signal.

Important Notes:

• App Compatibility: Some video apps might not support AirPlay. If you don’t see the AirPlay icon, the app might have restrictions.
• Automatic AirPlay: Your iPhone or iPad can automatically connect to frequently used Apple TVs or smart TVs. You can adjust this setting in Settings > General > AirPlay & Handoff.
• AirPlay 2: For the best experience, ensure your devices support AirPlay 2. This version offers improved performance and features.
