AirPlay offers several benefits to Apple TV owners with iPhones, iPads, and Macs. AirPlay lets you broadcast music, podcasts, movies, and TV shows from your phone to your Apple TV. The main aim of this app is to look at the device’s screen on Apple TV or Mac. Apple TV can play iTunes and iCloud material, but AirPlay can play any audio or video on your mobile device, even if you didn’t pay or download it. Streaming non-Apple TV apps or mirroring your screen on a larger device may also assist. Your device must be on the same Wi-Fi network as your Apple TV to stream audio or video. Sign into the same iCloud account anywhere. Set up and use AirPlay’s features here.
