How to Airplay on a Samsung TV

AirPlay on a Samsung TV is a straightforward process, but it’s essential to ensure your TV model supports it. Here’s a step-by-step guide:

1. Verify AirPlay Compatibility:

  • Not all Samsung TVs support AirPlay. Typically, newer models (especially those from 2018 onwards) are more likely to have this feature.
  • Check your Samsung TV’s specifications or user manual to confirm AirPlay 2 compatibility.

2. Connect to the Same Wi-Fi Network:

  • Both your Samsung TV and your Apple device (iPhone, iPad, or Mac) must be connected to the same Wi-Fi network.
