1. AirPlay to Mac
AirPlay content to your Mac Use AirPlay to send content to your Mac from an iPhone, iPad, or even another Mac. View videos, edit Keynote presentations, and hear music on your Mac as it’s being played from your other device. Your Mac works with any Apple device, and it’s even easier to connect if the devices share the same Apple ID.
2. Mirror or extend the display
When you send content from your iPhone or iPad to your Mac, you can choose to mirror your iPhone or iPad or extend its display by using a Mac as a secondary display for apps that support it, such as Keynote and Photos.
3. Use as AirPlay 2 speaker
Your Mac can function as a third-party AirPlay 2 speaker, allowing you to play music or podcasts to your Mac or use it as a secondary speaker for multiroom audio.
4. Send wired or wirelessly
AirPlay works both wirelessly and wired using USB. A wired connection is useful when you want to ensure that there’s no latency or you don’t have access to Wi-Fi.
Official Apple compatibility for the AirPlay Receiver.

  1. I've done all the steps with my macbook pro mid 2015 and finally seen airplay reciever in sharing but screen mirroring is still not working with newest iphones. I don't know what problem is. Can anyone please help me with that?

  2. Great instructions but it didn't work!! After booting from the USB drive I get a message in System Preferences saying "Preferences Error. Could not load Displays preference pane". Any suggestions??! Many thanks.

  3. It works well on my macbook 2015 but can’t get it to work on 2017 imac ventura? I got a new menu for airplay handoff and it doesn’t give me the option for airplay reciever ( apple is not a real one for this update)

  4. Hello. Thank you for this tutorial. I have a mid 2011 iMac and I was able to install OSmonterey with your other tutorial. However, Airplay 2 does not work even though "Airplay Receiver" is enabled. I read something about an incompatibility with the graphics card (mine is an AMD Radeon HD6750 512 MB). Any tips on what might be happening?

  5. Just applied this patch to my 2015 iMac. Working good so far. My only question is, is there a way to disable the iMac always asking for permission to allow my phone to connect via AirPlay? This happens every time, even after the first time setup with the code input.

  6. Congrats for the superb video! I tried on a iMac 12.1 running macOS High Sierra. I was able to reboot it but the option for Airplay is not showing up on preferences? Any help?

  7. Hi, can you updated to 2023? the OCLP change and we are under MacOS Ventura 13.5.1. I really need this but I can not do ir, I try it but not result. I will appreciate any help. Thanks

  8. I have a question (2011 late 17 inch macbook pro: I followed your Monterey guide for a primary hard drive installation (thank you for this content). I'm trying to use Air play 2 on a LGTV smart tv. I currently have to sound working but there's no video. Have you come across this problem? If how, do I fix it? Thanks.
