AirPlay not working from Mac to TV or speaker
Your Mac and TV or speaker aren't seeing each other on WiFi, or AirPlay is turned off on the receiving device. Both need to be on the same WiFi network and close enough for the signal to reach. Check those two things first.
AirPlay doesn't work when your Mac and the receiving device aren't on the same WiFi network, the receiving device isn't set up for AirPlay, or they're too far apart. We'll check the WiFi connection, make sure the TV or speaker is ready to receive AirPlay, and restart if needed.

Skip — I just want a technicianCommon mistakes to avoid
- Assuming WiFi is on when it's actually off. Always check the WiFi menu to confirm.
- Putting the TV or speaker on a guest network while the Mac is on the main network. They need to be on the same network.
Signs you need professional help
- If both devices are on the same network, WiFi is on, and AirPlay still won't work, get in touch. There might be a deeper connectivity issue.
