How to Use AirPlay to Mirror iPhone Screen or Stream Video

You can use the built-in AirPlay feature to stream or share content from your Apple devices to your Apple TV, AirPlay-compatible smart TV, or Mac.

With AirPlay, you can stream a video, share your photos, or mirror exactly what’s on your device’s screen and enjoy it with your friends and family on a bigger display.

In some cases, your iOS device might automatically stream video to the Apple TV, AirPlay-compatible smart TV, or Mac that you frequently use. If you open a video app and notice a blue AirPlay icon in the upper-left corner, then an AirPlay device is already selected.

To use AirPlay with a different device, tap the blue icon, then tap another device.
