Before you begin

  • To mirror your view on Apple Vision Pro, 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.
  • 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.

Mirror your view from your Apple Vision Pro

  2. Turn on AirPlay Receiver or AirPlay on your other device:
    • On your Mac: Choose Apple menu  > System Settings (or System Preferences), click General in the sidebar, click AirDrop & Handoff on the right, then turn on AirPlay Receiver. If you have macOS Monterey, learn how to turn on AirPlay Receiver.
    • On your iPhone or iPad: Go to Settings > General > AirPlay & Handoff, then turn on AirPlay Receiver.
    • On your Apple TV: Open Settings, select AirPlay and HomeKit, then select AirPlay to turn it on.

Video Mirroring shares your view in up to 720p resolution to your AirPlay-enabled device. When you mirror your view,  turns green  to let you know mirroring is active. A pulsing white light on EyeSight tells others you are sharing your view.

If you play a protected video such as a movie, TV show, or music video purchased from Apple, the video displays a black screen. Apple Vision Pro doesn’t support mirroring these types of videos to other devices.
