AirPlaying to a Samsung TV is a great way to enjoy content from your Apple devices on a larger screen. Here’s a breakdown of how to do it:

1. Ensure AirPlay 2 Compatibility:

• Not all Samsung TVs support AirPlay. You’ll need a model that supports AirPlay 2.
• Generally, newer Samsung Smart TVs (especially those from 2018 onwards) have AirPlay 2.
• It’s always best to check your TV’s specifications or user manual to confirm.

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.

3. Enable AirPlay on Your Samsung TV:

• Press the Home button on your Samsung TV remote.
• Navigate to Settings or All Settings.
• Select General or Connection. (On some newer models it is found within Connection)
• Choose “Apple AirPlay Settings” or “Apple AirPlay & HomeKit Settings”. The exact wording may vary.
• Turn on AirPlay.
• You may also have options to set AirPlay security preferences.

4. Start AirPlay from Your Apple Device:

• From an iPhone or iPad:
  • Open Control Center (swipe down from the top-right corner).
  • Tap the “Screen Mirroring” icon.
  • Select your Samsung TV from the list.
  • Enter the AirPlay code displayed on your TV if prompted.
• From a Mac:
  • Click the AirPlay icon in the menu bar (it looks like a rectangle with a triangle at the bottom).
  • Select your Samsung TV.
  • Enter the code if prompted.

Troubleshooting Tips:

• Wi-Fi Connection:
  • A strong and stable Wi-Fi connection is crucial.
• Software Updates:
  • Ensure both your Samsung TV and Apple device are up to date.
• Restart Devices:
  • If you have issues, try restarting both devices.
• TV Settings:
  • Double-check your TV’s AirPlay settings.
• Samsung SmartThings:
  • If you are having issues, insure the TV is properly added to the Samsung SmartThings app.
