How to Airplay on a Samsung TV
AirPlay on a Samsung TV allows you to stream content wirelessly from your Apple devices. Here’s how to set it up and use it:
1. Check AirPlay Compatibility:
- Not all Samsung TVs support AirPlay. You’ll need a model that supports AirPlay 2.
 - Typically, newer Samsung Smart TVs (especially those from 2018 onwards) have AirPlay 2.
 - Check your TV’s specifications or user manual to confirm AirPlay 2 compatibility.
 
2. Connect to the Same Wi-Fi Network:
- Ensure both your Samsung TV and your Apple device (iPhone, iPad, or Mac) are connected to the same Wi-Fi network.
 

3. Enable AirPlay on Your Samsung TV:
- Press the Home button on your Samsung TV remote.
 - Navigate to Settings or All Settings.
 - Select General or System.
 - Choose “Apple AirPlay Settings” or “Apple AirPlay & HomeKit Settings”. The exact wording may vary depending on your TV model and software version.
 - Turn on AirPlay.
 - You might also find options to set AirPlay security preferences (e.g., require a code).
 
4. Start AirPlay from Your Apple Device:
- From an iPhone or iPad:
- Open Control Center (swipe down from the top-right corner).
 - Tap the “Screen Mirroring” icon.
 - Select your Samsung TV from the list.
 - Enter the AirPlay code displayed on your TV if prompted.
 
 - From a Mac:  
- 
- Click the AirPlay icon in the menu bar (it looks like a rectangle with a triangle at the bottom).
