Select the device you want to use from the drop-down options (on an iPad, you’ll have to toggle on “Mirroring” after this step).Tap “Screen Mirroring” (on an iPad, you’ll tap “AirPlay”).Open the Control Center by either swiping up (iPhone 8 or earlier) or swiping down from the upper-right corner (iPhone X or later).These instructions are for iPhones, but the steps for an iPad or iPod touch are similar. (Here are the system requirements.) The requirements for screen mirroring are similar to those for AirPlay: make sure your device is up to date and that it’s connected to the same Wi-Fi network as your TV.īelow, we’ll walk you through the steps for mirroring your screen. You can mirror your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, or Mac screen on an Apple TV or an AirPlay 2-compatible smart TV. However, if you want to cast your whole screen - with all of the windows or applications you may have open - then you’ll want to use mirroring. If you use an iPhone or Mac and you want to cast a video from a specific app on your iPhone or Mac to your TV, you can use AirPlay.
