How to Use Your Mac with Apple Vision Pro [VIDEO]

Apple has shared a new video tutorial on its YouTube channel, detailing how you can use Apple Vision Pro as a private, portable 5K display for your Mac with Mac Virtual Display.

Before you begin, make sure your Mac meets the system requirements:

• You can use Mac Virtual Display with any Mac that has macOS 14 Sonoma or later.
• If you want to use a Wide or Ultrawide Mac Virtual Display screen, you need a Mac with Apple silicon and macOS Sequoia 15.2 or later, and your Apple Vision Pro needs visionOS 2.2 or later.

Next, make sure your Mac and your Apple Vision Pro have Wi-Fi and Bluetooth turned on, and both are signed in to the same Apple Account. If you have a compatible Mac laptop, you can begin a Mac Virtual Display session by looking at it. If you have a Mac desktop, start by opening Control Center.

If you have a Mac laptop:

1. Make sure that your Mac laptop is open and its display is active.
2. While wearing Apple Vision Pro, look at your Mac laptop.
3. Tap the Connect button that appears in your view above your Mac laptop.
4. If you don’t see the Connect button above your Mac laptop, follow the steps in the next section.

If you have a Mac desktop computer:

1. Open Control Center.
2. On the right-hand side of Control Center, scroll to the Mac Virtual Display button , then tap it.
3. Select your Mac from the list that appears.

When your Mac connects, its display appears as a window in Apple Vision Pro. Just like with all windows in your Apple Vision Pro workspace, you can pinch and drag the window bar that appears at the bottom of the window to move your Mac Virtual Display and arrange it closer or farther away in space.
