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.
Available on MacBook Pro (2018 and later), MacBook Air (2018 and later), iMac (2019 and later), iMac Pro (2017), Mac mini (2020 and later), Mac Pro (2019), iPhone 7 and later, iPad Pro (2nd generation and later), iPad Air (3rd generation and later), iPad (6th generation and later), and iPad mini (5th generation and later).

Apple blocked Airplay to Mac on 2015-2017 Supported Macs from using this great feature! Let's unlock it with OCLP! Let me know if you have any questions.

[denisepopiolek]

worked PERFECTLY, first time. super clear instructions, amazing step-by-step walkthrough. absolutely subbing for more tips!

thank you SO much for this!!! it's made working so much more organized!

[ktmark]

Thank you SO MUCH. This was so easy to follow and now I’m no longer stressing about how to share my display between a 2017 iMac and 2020 MacBook Pro. You’re a life saver

[marcrancourt]

Thank you for the comprehensive walk-through. It has extended the life of my 13" Early-2013 MBP!

[richiesalvador]

Clear step-by-step instruction. This is how tutorial videos should be. Subscribed.

[SashaLine]

Oh, men! You are my saver! I have just got this IMac 2015 yesterday and was negatively surprise the Airplay function is not available! But you have made my day! The installing interface looked bit different on my screen though and i am not that technical but everything went perfectly and now i have it without using USB! Thank you much! God bless you! ❤❤ ❤

[marcstone]

Thank you so much for these videos. If I hadn’t stumbled on your videos three months ago, my mid 2010 MacBook Pro would of been collecting dust in the closet. But coming across your videos I’ve successfully installed Open Core patcher and it’s has brought new life to my Mid 2010 MacBook Pro- a 13 year old machine. It clear that Apple want you to keep buying their stuff when clearly the older man’s still have a ton of life left in them. Now if I can find a patcher for my 2006 Black A1181 MacBook. Thanks again ! Very happy with the results! 😊

[gumpter]

Dude u keep killing it . Ur videos are such a great example of simplifying the process and not assuming people know certain things . U cover the steps perfectly . I was just about to sell my 2011 iMac because it couldn’t be a display for me and now I’ve got my dual screen . Keep it up man ur a legend

[jovanASM]

Wow! i'm crying!!!! I got it set up! THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR HELPING US WITH THIS!!!!

[carlose.jimenez]

Hello,
Congratulations for this amazing tutorial. It worked in an iMac14, 1 using OCLP 0.4.1 and Monterey 12.0.1. That is great!!!! Nevertheless, I wanted to warn that it is not working using the updated version Monterey 12.2. and OCLP 0.4.1 (in the same iMac14, 1 model). The Airplay receiver continued missing after the full process. Again, congratulations. Your tutorials are amazing!!!

[ivannewman]

What can we do without you! Thanks for everything you making 👍✌️

[parkjieun]

I went through a lot of videos to enable side car but half of them didn’t work out (or maybe I didn’t do it right way) and I didn’t wanna use app cuz when I used it my macbook and ipad were so hot. And I tried this out. IT WORKED SO BEAUTIFULLY. I’m not a native speaker, but this tutorial was so easy to follow even for non native speaker! Everything understood clearly. Thank you so much!

[rekenshin]

I have no questions! You're an absolute LEGEND!Thank you

[epixbear]

trusted tutorial. had no external back up so i went all in and it works mate without any problem. subbed for more

[choralvoice]

May 20 generations of your offspring be blessed!!!! :) I had purchased an Macbook and was hoping to share screen with my 2017 iMac but the feature that used to exist with my earlier 2014 iMac (can't remember what it was called) was no longer available on my 2017 iMac (go figure!). Because of the new M1 chip on the MacBook Air, your average external monitors did not work. The Macbook couldn't recognise it and I couldn't get their full resolution. So after multiple dozens of hours of troubleshooting with monitor companies, Apple, returning monitors, etc, I finally found a monitor that worked. But it was a big headache and I lost money in the process. That was a year ago. Meanwhile, I was about to sell my iMac when I found your video. And now I have TWO monitors on my desk! WOOHOO! I am so grateful.

[mustafatries]

Dude! Thanks you so much I’ve been hitting my head on the wall for a while and you solved my issue in 15mins



Hats off

[saurabhshri]

Thank you very much! This was an amazing walkthrough, also thanks for introducing OpenCore to me! Devs are doing some amazing work. May I ask, what capture card are you using?

I stumbled upon this video because I think I am about to set-up a really unconventional 'dual-mac' set-up. I have two (intel) MacBook Pros. I was thinking of using the spare one to act as a 'streaming' mac. My first obvious thought was to buy a capture card and route my primary MacBook's display to streaming MacBook. But then I recalled the KeyNote and Airplay to mac. Down the rabbit hole I go!

[michaelboldys]

Ooooh. This got me excited. As a late 2015 iMac owner I love this info and help. Apple may block, but the community unblocks. "Snoopy Dance".

[bigtreeproductions]

This is awesome! Thanks so much, I was eagerly awaiting this feature.

[hinze]
