LG Oled TV - How can I enable AirPlay?

Troubleshooting




What is AirPlay?

AirPlay is Apple’s wireless feature that lets you stream audio, video, photos, and even your device screen from Apple devices—such as iPhone, iPad, and iPod Touch—to your TV.

If your smartphone supports screen sharing, you can stream your screen to the TV without any cables.

Note: TVs released after 2018 with webOS 4.0 or later support AirPlay.


Try This

Want to stream your iPhone screen to a larger TV screen?
➔ Simply enable AirPlay to share your device’s screen with your TV.

You can use AirPlay on devices running iOS 12.4 or later. Just make sure your iPhone and TV are connected to the same Wi-Fi network.


How to Share Your iPhone Screen with Your TV

  2. From the list of available devices, select your TV to start sharing your screen.
