AirPlay TVs

By the TVkip team · Updated November 9, 2026

Many TVs have AirPlay 2 built in. AirPlay plays video apps and mirrors your screen with less delay than the app's own mirroring.

TVs with AirPlay 2

• Samsung: most TVs from 2018 on, and some Smart Monitors.
• LG: webOS TVs from 2019 on, and some 2018 models after an update.
• Sony: some 2019 models after an update, and many BRAVIA models from 2020 on.
• Vizio: SmartCast TVs from 2016 on, after updates.
• Roku: most 4K Roku players and Roku TVs.
• Apple TV: every current model.

Some Hisense and TCL TVs have AirPlay too: look for AirPlay in the TV's settings.

Using AirPlay

1. Turn AirPlay on in the TV's settings if needed (Samsung: Settings › General › Apple AirPlay Settings; Roku: Settings › Apple AirPlay and HomeKit).
2. On the Cast screen, tap the TV name, then AirPlay. To mirror, use Screen Mirroring in Control Center.
3. The first time, type the code the TV shows on your iPhone.

Paid streaming apps decide for themselves whether they play over AirPlay; some show a black screen. Open the streaming app on the TV instead.
