What is AirPlay?

AirPlay is Apple's casting and mirroring system: send video, music or your entire iPhone/Mac screen to an Apple TV or AirPlay-compatible smart TV.

Look for the AirPlay icon in apps or Control Centre. On the TV side, most recent Samsung, LG and Sony sets support AirPlay 2 natively — enable it in the TV's settings under AirPlay & HomeKit.
