Wirelessly stream video, photos, and audio from your iPad to a Mac

You can use a nearby Mac to watch videos, view photos, and play audio streamed from your iPad. You can also mirror your iPad screen to the Mac. (macOS Monterey 12 or later required.)

Set up a Mac to allow streaming from your iPad

On a Mac, choose Apple menu > System Preferences, click Sharing, then select AirPlay Receiver.
Choose AirPlay Receiver from the service list, then if AirPlay Receiver isn’t on, select the checkbox.
Choose an option for “Allow AirPlay for:”
- To allow only devices where you’re signed in with the same Apple ID as on the Mac to stream to the Mac, select “Current user.”
- To allow others, select “Anyone on the same network” or “Everyone.”
To require a password to use AirPlay with the Mac, select the option, then enter a password in the text field.

If you choose the option “Anyone on the same network” or “Everyone,” and someone is signed in to their device with a different Apple ID than on the Mac, an AirPlay request initially requires acceptance on the Mac and verification on the other device. On the Mac, accept the AirPlay request. If the Mac displays an AirPlay code, enter the code on the other device.
