About AirPlay to Mac<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
This means, for instance, you can play music or podcasts from an iOS or iPadOS device on your Mac. You can stream videos, images, music, and other forms of media from one Apple device to another compatible device. Or you can use your Mac as a secondary speaker for multiroom audio.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
AirPlay works both wirelessly and wired using USB. A wired connection is helpful when you want to ensure that there\u2019s no latency. And it\u2019s necessary if you don\u2019t have access to Wi-Fi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
