A feature that I use often is the ability to stream video content and mirror my phone on TV’s in my home and office.

You can use the simple instructions below to try these powerful features for yourself. Any newer TV usually has AirPlay Mirroring built right into it, so no additional hardware is needed.

We love mirroring our phone screens while on vacation or when family is over to show photos on the big screen for all to see.

Let me know if you have questions after you give it a shot!
