![]() ![]() So check out this page at the Apple site which gives you the details of what's new in macOS Monterey. You need to have a certain level of hardware for this. Now this isn't going to work on older Macs. So if you enter your phone by a USB cable to your Mac then you can do AirPlay that way which will allow for a faster lower latency connection. Also it will work if you connect a device by USB. So it's working wirelessly directly from one device to the other. One is if you choose Allow AirPlay for Everyone it will work even if you're not connected to the same WiFi network. Now there are two other options that I want you to know about. Like, for instance, Keynote to do a presentation. Just like with any other bluetooth AirPlay device I can tap here and go back to iPhone for the output and that will turn Off the AirPlay streaming.That also works in any other app that can do AirPlay on a second screen like that. Notice if I look in Control Center down on my Mac it will show what's playing from my iPhone. I could now choose my MacPro and you could see I can AirPlay just the audio. So here I am in the Music App and I could tap here and you could see I could AirPlay to various devices including my Home Pod, Bluetooth Devices. Now you can also AirPlay to your Mac's speakers. Then I could Stop AirPlay right here to turn it Off or do it on the Mac side. I can even use iPhone screen and swipe over and it will show the next photo. Then I get to choose the MacPro like before and now you could see it will show there on the Mac screen. For instance if I go to the Photos App I can be looking at a picture here and I could go and Share that picture and choose the method of sharing as AirPlay. Now this also works with other AirPlay modes. It knows that AirPlay is allowed between those two devices. But the next time I do it I won't have to enter that code. I have to enter in that code on my iPad and Okay before the screen mirroring will start. You could see I have to Accept and then it's going to show a code on my Mac screen. So if I try it here with my iPad I'm going to use Control Center, Screen Mirror, to the MacPro. ![]() But the first time you do it you're going to have to enter in that code. Now I have previously AirPlayed from my iPhone to my Mac before so I didn't have to enter in the code a second time. You could also just stop Screen Mirroring on your iPhone like you could normally. In this case since I have two screens I could say switch to the other display. If you move the pointer you'll see the ability to stop AirPlay. The only functionality here on the Mac is this little control here. It's just showing whatever is on the iPhone. It basically turns the Mac screen into an Apple TV. So now everything I do on my iPhone, I'll see it here on my Mac screen. You see on my Mac screen I have to Accept. I have a few Apple TV's available and I have this MacPro here. Then you'll see all of your AirPlay devices. I'm going to bring up Control Center here and then tap Screen Mirroring. So let's say we're just going to mirror the screen. Again it works just like it does to an Apple TV. Once you have that turned on you start things on the other device. Somebody needs to know the password in order to connect using AirPlay. But if you use this then you can set a password and there is no matching code to see on the screen. Now you have to enter in the matching code if you don't use this. It doesn't even have to be on the same WiFi network. You would need to see the code on their screen. ![]() You still have to confirm using a code so it's not like you could take somebody else's Mac over while you're at work. Anybody that is in the same WiFi network would be able to AirPlay. So this is similar to how Apple TV would work. Or you can choose Allow Anyone on the Same Network. In other words you can AirPlay from your iPhone to your Mac as long as you're using the same Apple ID. So then you need to decide whether AirPlay is only available for the current user. Now to enable this you need to go into System Preferences and then look for Sharing. Just like you can do it from one of those devices to an Apple TV. So you can AirPlay an iPhone, an iPad, or even another Mac to your Mac. So a new feature in macOS Monterey is the ability to use your Mac as an AirPlay Receiver.
