AirPlay to Mac is here! I think this is one of the best features that Apple has brought to the Mac in years!!! In this video I will show you how to set it up and configure this new setting. Let me know if you have any questions!
What about wired usb connection from Mac to Mac? According to Apple you can use USB connection between supported devices for reduced latency when using this feature connecting two macs directly to each other
I have a 2016 MacBook Pro with a 2.9 GHz Dual-Core Intel Core i5 processor. I updated to Monterey Beta and do not have the Airplay receiver option in sharing preferences. Is there a way to get this option?
I fn love you. I just spent about 4 hours trying to fn connect my MacBook Pro 2017 to an iMac M1 2021 for a second monitor. Hours. I tried thunderbolt 3 by simply connecting and doing the command+F2, nothing, target display mode- found out after 3hrs in the search that that was dead. Then I came upon this video.. the holy fn Grail! F Mac. But love Mac. Thank you sir may you continue to help those in despair.
Thank you so much for sharing this information. Airplay to Mac was my most anticipated feature and I was waiting for someone to do a demo since WWDC. I can not wait to use this on my 2019 5K iMac.
@@KadinYu Yes, and it works fine. Haven't had any issues with it. The only downside is my work MacBook Pro that was given to me by my company and is maintained by them is still running Catalina, so the max resolution it can AirPlay over is 1080p. Everything Big Sur and up does 4K over AirPlay.
Hands down the best video about this feature on youtube , can you please test if mirroring from ipad pro to imac will work over usb c? thanks and keep up with the great work.
Thank you for such a great video. I guess I don't have to trade my imac, as it can be used as an external display. I was confused by the universal control and this air play to mac feature. Now I am clear ;)
Extremely useful, excellent! I can't believe my iMac is also an 27" external display for my macbook. My use case is to use software packages that I have installed in my macbook for which I have only one license, so I couldn't install them in my iMac without doubling licensing costs.
THANK YOU for this video, I am looking at getting a 24" iMac as a second display for a MacBook Pro and yours is the only information I've found on the internet proving this can be done. I really appreciate what you've shown here!
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! I was about to sell my old MBA 2013. Now you just gave me the perfect solution to use it and "officially" have 3 displays while using my M1 MBA.
I used to be a big user of Target Display Mode. Eventually, I had to upgrade my Macs and lost support for it. This new feature is really great, I'm gonna use it a lot! Thanks for the information on it.
Thank you for this video, I've tried to use my personal machine (16" 2019) as an external display for my work machine (14" base model) and it did work. Unfortunately the latency and OS scaling wasn't good enough for everyday use, I've tried it both over wifi as well as with a thunderbolt 3 connector. A shame because I really like the display target mode that I have on my old iMac (2012).
Brent - I'm in a similar boat so I'm wondering if you can expand on your experience. I have a 2020 5k I'm thinking of using with my m1 max - were you getting 4k resolution on airplay? Did the USB / thunderbolt connection make a difference? I used to use target display mode and I miss it. I haven't upgraded either to monterey yet. What was the main problem you were experiencing in terms of quality?
BIG NEWS:::: I have a iMac 2012 and iMac 2013 both running OCLP 12.3.1 and I was able to use a THUNDERBOLT 2 cable and the old hot key CMD F2 to extend the monitor from one iMac to the other giving me full resolution AND zero Lag. The only caveat being I had to use a wired keyboard. A wireless keyboard would only bring up the display setting. Hope this helps everyone!!! Happy Hacking!!
This is helpful, but sometimes you're rate of speech really takes off and I have to keep pausing and rewinding to double check the steps. Esp bc your screen is a touch hard to see at that angle/ size
Awesome video! Does this work with the MacBook closed? I’m trying to figure out a way to avoid having to buy a monitor for my work computer when I already have such a beautiful M1 iMac at my disposal!
Very informative content! Thank you so much for sharing this! Hopefully Apple won't change any of the things you tested, verified, and shared when they release the official version.
Airplay from I-phone is great, however I have noticed if you airplay content from I-phone to mac, you seem unable to adjust the volume on the Mac from your I-phone. When casting this video for example I am unable to control volume, that seem a poor integration fault, particularly as videos that you mirror have different volume levels. Can I confirm if you also have this issue.. I-Phone 13 pro
Thank you for this video. I called Apple twice to confirm that you couldn’t make this happen between my wife’s M1 MBP & M1 24” IMac. Would have returned it if I would not have found this video.
Great explanation, Thanks! I don't see the option "AirPlay Receiver" in the share app in system setting on my iMac late 2015 running MacOS Monterey . But I understand from your video that this computer is compatible, isnt?
Hi can you show how i can get airplay functionality on old mac(2016). I have gotten the macos monterey but it doesn't support airplay. I was wondering if there is a work around that
Thank you! I ran into issues with being able to AirPlay from my iPad Pro to my MacBook Pro retina. I'm using the USB - USB-C cable and nothing. My understanding is that the Big Sur Mac OS is not allowing this feature. That said if anyone knows of a work around, I would be grateful. 🙏🙏🙏
I'm getting a higher resolution than I should?!?! A huge thank-you! I have a perfectly good iMac late 2012 and because of you, I was able to upgrade it to Sonoma 14.5 and use it as an airplay receiver for my MacBook Pro M3 Max. I have a question about resolution. When I connect via a Cat7 ethernet cable I am now able to make my resolution 3840x2160 (not available by wireless airplay). I tested my resolution via a screenshot and also a check my resolution website and it says 3840x2160. How can that be since my NVIDIA GeForce GTX 680MX tells me the max is 2560x1440? A happy surprise if true!
Great content!. Subscribed. One quick query. I have a late 2015 27 5k iMac. I installed Monterey directly as it's supported, but it doesn't have the 'AirPlay receiver' option in Sharing menu. How to enable that? Again, thanks a lot!
I use my work MacBook Pro to connect to my iMac bigger screen but there is a bit of latency even if I use the Thunderbolt cable. Is there any way to manually improve quality even if this means compromise performance?
Great video! Question - What is the latency like (if any) when connected via USB compared to the connection you have with an actual monitor like you HP? Would love to be able to connect the 14" Macbook Pro to iMac 5k with no latency! Thanks!
I have a iMac 2012 and iMac 2013 both running OCLP 12.3.1 and I was able to use a THUNDERBOLT 2 cable and the old hot key CMD F2 to extend the monitor from one iMac to the other giving me full resolution AND zero Lag. The only caveat being I had to use a wired keyboard. A wireless keyboard would only bring up the display setting. Hope this helps you!!! Happy Hacking!!
This might be the only solution to run 2 apple displays (TB2) to my M1 Mac mini. I have tried 5 different cables/adapters and will not get my 2nd tb display working (without an HDMI monitor). I can use my old MBP 2013 (adding Monterrey) to 2nd apple display as a continuation of my M1 mini workspace. Will be trying tonight, after I go through your other video on installing Monterrey on unsupported Mac. Cheers
How do you remove this from the internal drive? I did this ages ago and now I need to put windows on via bootcamp and it won’t work? I gather because of the efi partition. So advice on how to remove would be amazing. Thankyou in advance
I have a 2020 MacBook Pro and I want to cast its display on a late 2014 iMac. I purchased a Thunderbolt 3 (USB-C) to Thunderbolt 2 adapter. Is there anyway to make this happen? It is telling me my MacBook Pro is a receiver but is there some way I can reverse this. My laptop is the brain of my operations!
Huh my 5k iMac doesn’t show airplay receiver in sharing center. It’s definitely not 2019 but it is on the latest os so not that old… wish you showed us how to make older macs work for this.
Hello! I'm trying to connect a macbook pro with an Imac late 2012 with usb thunderbolt 3 but I nothing happens. What do you do in order to make both computers get recognized? Thanks in advance
@Mr. Macintosh I installed monterey beta on my late 2015 imac but the airplay receiver button does not show up under sharing. How did you make it work on your 2013 macbook pro?
If anyone figures out a way to get the Intel Core II / Big Sur (2013 MacBook Air) to receive from iPhone / iOS 17 I'd love to know. Someo people have had limited success with 3rd party apps. It's long-shot at this point, but hey. Some of y'all are very clever.
Thanks for sharing this great tutorial but I couldn't see my Airplay receiver options in the sharing settings. I'm on Macboob Pro 2019. How can I get this feature?
thanks for this video! Can you please share a link of a thunderbolt to USB C cable? I am trying to find one to use my iMac 2012 as a second monitor to my MacBook. Thanks!
Many grieved Apple killed the Target Display Mode feature when the iMac displays got retina resolution. This would potentially bring it back in a new way. I guess a lot of people want to use this method to use their old 5k iMac as a monitor. However, you're demonstrating that this does not give you full resolution on display. Would a wired connection (eg. ethernet) help to get you the full resolution? I'm also wondering if it's possible to connect your Mac Mini headless to the iMac. This would give you the opportunity to upgrade your 5K iMac to an M1 Mac for the cost of a Mac Mini... Would be cool.
Have you learned any more about this? I'm wondering if i'll be able to use my m1macbook to transmit to my 2015 5k imac and have it display at least at 4k.
I am trying this works fine and the pach works but cant get the full resolution to work on my iMac 2017 when i have a m1 macbook air as a 1st computer. Can only get 1920x1080 resolution on my 5k iMac
@@makarai1988 same. I have two old iMacs and can’t get higher than 1920x1080 and over WiFi it’s super laggy right now. I just bought a thunderbolt 2 cable to test and see if it will function any better and see if I get more resolution options.
I am trying to find a way to use my 2012 MacBook Pro in conjunction with a 27" 2020 iMac (Intel, newly purchased, still on Catalina). The MBP has to stay on a pre-Catalina macOS to continue running 32-bit software. Ideally, I would like to physically connect the two to avoid latency but am also uncertain what kind of resolution I might see or what cable to buy (I have heard that cabling choice also impacts resolution). Additionally another comment here suggests that none of this works on Catalina. (Confused because I see that AirPlay is in my iMac System Preferences menu under Catalina.) In short, will some version of this solution work for me?

Great video. But can i mirror my m1 macbook air screen to a 2011 imac?
Nice! Awesome videos man! Also, I asked a question on your OCLP video for big Sur. Mind replying? Thanks! Oh yeah, you need way more subscribers. You also are the only person who can guide tech geeks like me, or basic people who have minimal tech knowledge. Keep up the good work!
@@Mr.Macintosh thanks man! I also saw a reddit post saying that OCLP could brick your machine... is that true? And if I want to boot my Mac normally and see the EFI boot and then boot into big Sur, do I just disable show Picker Mode?
I tried plugging a thunderbolt cable from MacBook m1 max to my iMac Pro 2017 , nothing happened. the only way I could get it to work was the old fashioned share screen, from the go menu in finder.my iPad shows as a mirroring option but not my iMac 2017.
Best source on this topic on the internet! One question: The sender I'm using is on Big Sur but the resolution on the receiver can not pass 1080p. I used another sender on Monterey and the receiver could use 4k resolution. Could you test this and see if it's the OS version on the sender matters?
i have 3.2 GHz Quad-Core Intel Core i5 Imac i barely ever used. If i bought a newer mac mini (M2 or 3) could I mirror onto to the Imac or am I misundersatnding things? I recently lost my job and am trying to get get best budget setup that works. I hate to part with my late 2015 Imac if i dont need to
Awesome Video. I was just curious if a Thunderbolt 3 to Thunderbolt 2 cable would work. AS that would allow wired connection between a new M1 Mac and on old Intel laptop like the 2016 MacBook Air?
My iMac 27" 2017 i7 on Monterey does not seem to have any capacity to be a receiver which seems contrary to what your say here. It doesn't even have the check box in the sharing settings.
So I have a MacBook Air M1 and it only supports one external display. If I were to conenct the second display to say, an appleTV, would I be able to extend my desktop to the 2nd display via appleTV?
So I have a Question and hopefully someone is still here for answering: Will I be able to connect an external display via a wire and an second display via an AppleTV? On an M1 MacBookAir? Found this nowhere and don't want to buy an AppleTV for nothing. Thanks mates.
I used OCLP0.1.9 to build the macOS12 USB installer and reinstalled macOS12 on my iMac14,2 and now the AirPlay Receiver is out and working. Now there are 2 problems. 1. iMac through AirPlay as an extended display, the resolution can only go up to 1080p, and cannot use iMac default resolution display. 2. Even if you use Ethernet connection, you will feel the high latency. PS: My other mac is MacBook Air M1
"Well what if I told you - you could use older Macs". Looking for help here. I have a 2017 iMac I was hoping to use via thunderbolt or airplay. I'm not finding Airplay receiver in Sharing and Apple says they no longer allow for using thuderbolt connections with cmd F2. Do you have a work around? Thx
ok check this out, I have a macbook air 2019 right now, and a monitor, my plan is to buy a mac mini m1 for my work, I want to connect my mac mini m1 to my monitor via hdmi cable, however here comes the issue, I want to be able to use my macbook air as a second monitor for the mini m1 but also since I have no keyboard I would like to use my macbook air as the keyboard and mousetrack, but I want all the processing done by my M1 MAC mini, is that possible ?
Successfully installed the Monterey release on an iMac 12.1. The toggle for 'airplay to Mac' shows up under the sharing pref however I don't seem to be able to connect to the mac as it can't be found by other devices. Do you seem to know any fix for this issue? Keep up the good work!
do you have to have an tv box for this to work? I want to purchase a new iMac m1 and use it as a second screen for my MBP 2019 model, running Monterey ... would that work
Hello Lisa, YES that would work, your 2019 MBPro could use the M1 iMac as a 2nd screen. The idea behind Airplay is that it makes any mac that is compatible work just like an AppleTV! Pretty neat huh?
Great video, I have a question: do you know if the target mac's external displays (if any) would also be usable from the transmitting mac? So, for instance, if you were to connect some monitor to your M1 iMac and then airplay from your macbook to the iMac as you did in this video, would the macbook have access to 4 displays in total (including its built-in one)? Is there a limit to this? I'm guessing the external displays in the target mac would not be usable though, but I can dream :)
Thanks for the great video. What would be the scenario if I have a mac mini (m1) for personal (connected to ultrawide) and a work macbook which I like to have always closed lid. Would this work?
What I can’t figure out is the size of the screen on the receiver since my M1 13 inch is the sender and my late 2018 15 inch is the receiver but the 13 inch signal looks small on the receiver, how can I make is bigger?

It works!!!!! Thunderbolt 2 for the win
@@BadspadeLive did you get 5k resolution via thunderbolt cable?
Is there a way to change the resolution from 1920x1080 to 5k, 4k on my iMac 2017 2nd screen.
I am extending the display from macbook air m1
did you find a solution?
Thanks!
Use a cable. Should work
I am trying to find a way to use my 2012 MacBook Pro in conjunction with a 27" 2020 iMac (Intel, newly purchased, still on Catalina). The MBP has to stay on a pre-Catalina macOS to continue running 32-bit software. Ideally, I would like to physically connect the two to avoid latency but am also uncertain what kind of resolution I might see or what cable to buy (I have heard that cabling choice also impacts resolution). Additionally another comment here suggests that none of this works on Catalina. (Confused because I see that AirPlay is in my iMac System Preferences menu under Catalina.) In short, will some version of this solution work for me?
Great video. But can i mirror my m1 macbook air screen to a 2011 imac?
Nice! Awesome videos man! Also, I asked a question on your OCLP video for big Sur. Mind replying? Thanks!
Oh yeah, you need way more subscribers. You also are the only person who can guide tech geeks like me, or basic people who have minimal tech knowledge. Keep up the good work!
Thank you @ThatOneMaccGamer!!!! Let me take a quick look at the other view and reply 👍
@@Mr.Macintosh thanks man! I also saw a reddit post saying that OCLP could brick your machine... is that true?
And if I want to boot my Mac normally and see the EFI boot and then boot into big Sur, do I just disable show Picker Mode?
I tried plugging a thunderbolt cable from MacBook m1 max to my iMac Pro 2017 , nothing happened. the only way I could get it to work was the old fashioned share screen, from the go menu in finder.my iPad shows as a mirroring option but not my iMac 2017.
Best source on this topic on the internet! One question: The sender I'm using is on Big Sur but the resolution on the receiver can not pass 1080p. I used another sender on Monterey and the receiver could use 4k resolution. Could you test this and see if it's the OS version on the sender matters?
Hello, give this a shot can you use a Thunderbolt cable to see if you can see more resolutions ?
I need to check from Big sur to see if that is the issue.
Great video, is there a limit to how many simultaneous monitors you can have?
Thanks! Dang, I can't seem to remember. I want to say 2-3
Please help me fix Airplay on 2011 mbp Bigsur , Opencore 0.4.3, thank you
i have 3.2 GHz Quad-Core Intel Core i5 Imac i barely ever used. If i bought a newer mac mini (M2 or 3) could I mirror onto to the Imac or am I misundersatnding things? I recently lost my job and am trying to get get best budget setup that works. I hate to part with my late 2015 Imac if i dont need to
did it mirror in 1920 x 1080? Was the quality any decent so you can use Apple Imac 24 as an. external display? thank you! Great vid btw
AirPlay receiver not in the Sharing drop down menu ( Imac 27, 2017 & Monetrey 12.5) ...any idea what's going on?
how do i turn on extended display?
Hi, is this different on Ventura? Do you know if it works? As Im having issues.. :(
Awesome Video. I was just curious if a Thunderbolt 3 to Thunderbolt 2 cable would work. AS that would allow wired connection between a new M1 Mac and on old Intel laptop like the 2016 MacBook Air?
Will you show how to do airdrops on unsupported Mac???
My iMac 27" 2017 i7 on Monterey does not seem to have any capacity to be a receiver which seems contrary to what your say here. It doesn't even have the check box in the sharing settings.
I got my macbook to connect to my imac but it lags, is this normal?
So I have a MacBook Air M1 and it only supports one external display. If I were to conenct the second display to say, an appleTV, would I be able to extend my desktop to the 2nd display via appleTV?
Thanks for great video, any way to use iMac 2015 27" with mac mini M1??
iMac as a monitor for mac mini :)
can 2 imacs receive from 1 macbook sending airplay?
Can this be used as a workaround to have a second extended display connected to the Air M1, that's not a mirror of anything?
What about wired mirroring ?
Supposedly you can USB connection with AirPlay for reduced latency.
So I have a Question and hopefully someone is still here for answering:
Will I be able to connect an external display via a wire and an second display via an AppleTV?
On an M1 MacBookAir?
Found this nowhere and don't want to buy an AppleTV for nothing.
Thanks mates.
I used OCLP0.1.9 to build the macOS12 USB installer and reinstalled macOS12 on my iMac14,2 and now the AirPlay Receiver is out and working.
Now there are 2 problems.
1. iMac through AirPlay as an extended display, the resolution can only go up to 1080p, and cannot use iMac default resolution display.
2. Even if you use Ethernet connection, you will feel the high latency.
PS: My other mac is MacBook Air M1
Now I See
www.reddit.com/r/MacOSBeta/comments/o2m29p/airplay_to_mac_does_not_seem_to_support_iosipados/
Same. Would love 5K support, but wishful thinking I guess.
Can an iMac 5K 2015 late work as receiver? If can - how turn on that feature???
So they basically added back target display but didn’t tell anybody
What about thunderbolt 2 to usb c
In order to use the wired connection - what would I need to do? Just plug in a USB-C cable or does it need to be thunderbolt 3? Is it limited to 4k?
Can you use wired or wireless Airplay to Mac while simultaneously using wired or wireless Sidecar?
"Well what if I told you - you could use older Macs". Looking for help here. I have a 2017 iMac I was hoping to use via thunderbolt or airplay. I'm not finding Airplay receiver in Sharing and Apple says they no longer allow for using thuderbolt connections with cmd F2. Do you have a work around? Thx
ok check this out, I have a macbook air 2019 right now, and a monitor, my plan is to buy a mac mini m1 for my work, I want to connect my mac mini m1 to my monitor via hdmi cable, however here comes the issue, I want to be able to use my macbook air as a second monitor for the mini m1 but also since I have no keyboard I would like to use my macbook air as the keyboard and mousetrack, but I want all the processing done by my M1 MAC mini, is that possible ?
Successfully installed the Monterey release on an iMac 12.1. The toggle for 'airplay to Mac' shows up under the sharing pref however I don't seem to be able to connect to the mac as it can't be found by other devices. Do you seem to know any fix for this issue? Keep up the good work!
do you have to have an tv box for this to work? I want to purchase a new iMac m1 and use it as a second screen for my MBP 2019 model, running Monterey ... would that work
Hello Lisa, YES that would work, your 2019 MBPro could use the M1 iMac as a 2nd screen. The idea behind Airplay is that it makes any mac that is compatible work just like an AppleTV! Pretty neat huh?
does it work between 2 imacs m1?
I have a macbook pro 2019 16 inch and the airplay receiver icon does not show up
Whats the Max Resolution you could get for the Extended Display on a supporting TV from Mac via Airplay 2 DIRECT ? Full 4K?
Great video, I have a question: do you know if the target mac's external displays (if any) would also be usable from the transmitting mac? So, for instance, if you were to connect some monitor to your M1 iMac and then airplay from your macbook to the iMac as you did in this video, would the macbook have access to 4 displays in total (including its built-in one)? Is there a limit to this? I'm guessing the external displays in the target mac would not be usable though, but I can dream :)
There is no Airplay sharing under sharing settings on my Macbook Pro 2017 I just updated to Monterey 12.0.1.
Thanks for the great video. What would be the scenario if I have a mac mini (m1) for personal (connected to ultrawide) and a work macbook which I like to have always closed lid. Would this work?
What I can’t figure out is the size of the screen on the receiver since my M1 13 inch is the sender and my late 2018 15 inch is the receiver but the 13 inch signal looks small on the receiver, how can I make is bigger?
iMac (Retina 5K, 27-inch, 2017)....Is not supported...Am I wrong? I hope I am.
