Mirror your Apple Vision Pro to another device

Learn how to mirror what you see on Apple Vision Pro to an iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple TV, or AirPlay-compatible smart TV. You can also use Apple Vision Pro as an AirPlay Receiver to view another device's screen.

Before you begin

  • To mirror what you see on Apple Vision Pro to another device, you need an iPhone with iOS 17.2 or later, an iPad with iPadOS 17.2 or later, a supported Mac with macOS Monterey or later, an Apple TV (2nd generation or later), or an AirPlay-compatible smart TV.

  • To use Apple Vision Pro as an AirPlay Receiver, you need visionOS 2 or later. To send content to Apple Vision Pro via AirPlay, you need an iPhone with iOS 18 or later, an iPad with iPadOS 18 or later, a Mac with macOS Sequoia or later, or an Apple Vision Pro with visionOS 2 or later.

  • Make sure on your other device that AirPlay Receiver (or AirPlay) is turned on as described in the next section.

  • Make sure that both of your devices have Wi-Fi and Bluetooth turned on.

Video Mirroring shares your view in 1080p resolution to your AirPlay-enabled device. When you mirror your view, No alt supplied for Image turns green No alt supplied for Image to let you know mirroring is active. A pulsing white light on EyeSight tells others you are sharing your view.
