====== Using AirPlay screen mirroring in macOS ======

First off, make sure that your Apple TV (or other AirPlay capable device) is on the same Wi-Fi (or wired) network as your Mac.   This is **very important**.

==== If your macOS version has Control Center ====
Look at your top menu bar, near the clock, for an icon that looks like two horizontal toggle switches.

=== If you do have Control Center ===
1. Click the **Screen Mirroring icon** {{:wiki:macos:ios12-2-control-center-screen-mirroring-icon.png?nolink&40|}} (which looks like two screens, staggered one on top of the other)
2. **Choose** your Apple TV (or other device) from the options.
3. Once AirPlay has started, you should see the AirPlay icon in your top bar.   It looks like a TV with a triangle underneath it. (see image below)  You can click that icon to change between mirroring your Mac screen, or extending to the AirPlay screen (like a second monitor).

=== If your macOS version doesn't have Control Center ===
1. Click the **Apple icon** in the upper, left of your screen
2. Click on **System Preferences**
3. Click on **Displays**
4. Near the bottom of the window, you should see **AirPlay Display**.   
5. Click on that drop down, and select the device from the list.
6. Once AirPlay has started, you should see the AirPlay icon in your top bar.   It looks like a TV with a triangle underneath it. (see image below)  You can click that icon to change between mirroring your Mac screen, or extending to the AirPlay screen (like a second monitor).
