How to watch Netflix, Amazon and Disney+ offline on a Mac.AirPlay lets you send what’s on your Mac to a Projector or HDTV, wirelessly using the Apple TV.
Tap on that icon and it will start streaming straight away – without having to enter a code.Īnother reason why you might want to stream from your iPhone or iPad to your Mac is so that you can watch Netflix, Amazon or Disney+ content offline on the larger screen.
Again, you will see your Mac listed as an option to stream too. Now, if you open your iPhone and iPad and find the thing you wish to stream to your Mac, tap on the Share icon, and choose AirPlay. Again, you won’t see an interface, this time the only indication that AirSever is running on your Mac is an icon in the menu bar that looks a little like the AirDrop or share icons on a Mac. 
You may also have to allow AirServer to ‘Control your Computer’ in Security & Privacy settings.
Download and install – as above you will need to approve the app before it installs since it’s not downloaded from the Mac App Store. You will now see the option to stream to your Mac, which you will be able to do as soon as you enter the AirPlay code which will appear on your Mac’s screen.ĪirServer (£14.99/$14.99) has a free 14-day trial which also has a watermark – although this time the watermark isn’t quite so intrusive. With Reflector running on your Mac, turn to your iPhone or iPad, open whatever it is you want to stream and tap on the Share icon (the one that’s a square with an arrow coming out of it). You don’t need to do anything here though. You won’t see an interface appear, but you should see the Reflector icon in the dock and the Reflector options should appear in the menu. (If you use the trial version you’ll see watermarks and it will time out after seven days). Otherwise, purchase the software and enter the licence key. If you are just using the trial you can click on Try Reflector 4. Download and install the Reflector software on your Mac (you will see a message warning you about installing it, but since we know it to be a legitimate app you should be alright to go ahead and open it). 
Set ‘Allow AirPlay for’ to ‘Everyone’ or ‘Anyone on the same network’. If your iPhone, iPad or Mac is older it may still be possible to share content, but it will be a lower resolution. You will need one of the following Macs, iPhones or iPads to take full advantage of the feature: One of the new features of iOS 15, iPadOS 15 and Monterey when they arrive will be the ability to AirPlay from iPhone or iPad to a Mac’s screen.Įven when this arrives with the new operating system updates at the end of 2021, it not work with every Mac though. There are also a couple of alternative solutions, which we will also discuss.
We’re run through how we expect AirPlay to work in Monterey and iOS 15 below.
