With the release of macOS Monterey, Apple has introduced full AirPlay support on Mac. This means that we can now AirPlay from iPhone/iPad straight to the Mac. OR. From one Mac to another one.
With Monterey installed, your Mac can also function as an AirPlay to speaker source. This allows you to wirelessly stream music/podcasts from an Apple device to a Mac. Or. You can use the computer as a secondary speaker for multi-room audio.
The article will show you how you can AirPlay music and video from an iOS device to Mac. Note – AirPlay to Mac only works with the 2018 or later MacBook Pro/Air, 2019 or later iMac/Mac Pro/iMac Pro, and on the 2020 or later Mac mini. You will also have to have your iOS devices to be running iOS 15 or later. You can check your device by navigating to Settings -> General -> Software Update.
