If you want to switch between mirroring and extending, you have to click on the Display Preferences button to bring up yet another screen. (and what if you only want the display output and not the audio output to the AppleTV? How do you control that now?) THIS is where Apple hid the Airplay functionality that the OP was asking about. Unintuitively, when you select an AppleTV in the Add Display menu, the AUDIO will also be streamed to the AppleTV. With Monterey you now have to open System Preferences, select Displays, and click Add Display and select your AppleTV there. (ALSO I used to have the Display icon on my toolbar to make it easy to get to controlling my displays, but Apple took that away a few years ago) There was the option to stop streaming your desktop to the AppleTV. There were options like whether to mirror or extend the display.

It would be more technically correct to say that Apple decided to make the functionality much harder to access and to further muddy their human interface guidelines.Īs others have told you, streaming content from the Mac to AppleTV used to be as simple as clicking on the Airplay icon on the toolbar and selecting your AppleTV device.

Returning your displays to their normal settings is simple: open the Add Display popup and deselect the secondary display there.

Like any secondary display, you can then drag windows across to it, transfer the menu bar (not advisable because of the lag), and move the pointer freely from one display to the other.Įven with the lag resulting from a Wi-Fi connection, the display on a nearby Mac can provide a useful extension on which you can place relatively static images such as reference documents, although I’m not sure that I’d want to play video on it. The final step is to drag the secondary display until it’s in the correct position relative to the master. You can either mirror to the secondary display, or use it, as I have here, as an Extended display at its own default resolution. Here I’ve made that the Main display, as you’ll probably want it to remain. When you switch that to its default resolution, you should find it much easier to use the controls without a magnifying glass. The upper of the two displays listed should be the ‘master’.
To configure the two displays, click on the Display Settings… button (if you can see it!).

The snag with doing that from a new MacBook Pro to an iMac’s 27-inch display is that the notebook’s display is set to the same resolution as the 27-inch display by default, making it very hard to use the controls there. Simply select the secondary display there and you should immediately see mirrored displays on the two Macs. When a nearby Mac is available for AirPlay Display, it will be listed from a new button Add Display in your ‘master’ Mac’s Displays pane. You can also connect them using a USB cable instead of Wi-Fi, which greatly reduces latency, something only too apparent when using Wi-Fi.
#MACOS MONTEREY AIRPLAY BLUETOOTH#
Both Macs need to be connected to the same Apple ID account, and have both Wi-Fi and Bluetooth active and within range.
#MACOS MONTEREY AIRPLAY FULL#
To be compatible with AirPlay Display, a Mac apparently needs full compatibility with AirPlay older models which offer reduced-quality AirPlay appear unlikely to work. It also seems to overlap with Sidecar and Universal Control, in that it can work with iPads too, although so far I’ve only had brief success when connecting my M1 Pro MacBook Pro to an older iPad Pro, which keeps disconnecting spontaneously. I’ll try to explain more here, despite being unable to locate any good explanation from Apple.ĪirPlay Display can be used to extend the display of a compatible Mac to include the displays of other nearby compatible Macs. In the meantime, AirPlay Display could still prove useful, although I’ve seen relatively little written about it. When Monterey eventually supports Universal Control fully, you should be able to do smarter things with the displays and input devices of a couple of recent Macs.
