If you don't see the device you want to stream to

When you tap AirPlay on your iOS device, you should see a list of devices that you can stream content to. If you don't see the device you're looking for, try these steps:

  1. Make sure that the device you want to stream to is plugged in and powered on.
  2. On your Apple TV, make sure that AirPlay is turned on. Go to Settings > AirPlay.
  3. Connect both devices to the same Wi-Fi network.
    On your iOS device, go to Settings > Wi-Fi.
    On your Apple TV, go to Settings > General > Network. If your Apple TV is connected using Ethernet, make sure that it’s plugged in to the router you're using for Wi-Fi.
  4. If you’re using an iPad, scroll up and down in the device list to see all of the available devices.

You can't use AirPlay to stream to content from your iOS device to another iOS device, a Mac, or a TV without Apple TV.
