To mirror your Mac to another computer, you must be using a Mac running at least macOS 10.15 (Big Sur). Apple lists the following models as AirPlay compatible with macOS Big Sur and later:
- MacBook: Early 2015 and newer
- MacBook Air: Mid 2013 and newer
- MacBook Pro: Late 2013 and newer
- Mac Mini: Late 2014 and newer
- iMac: Mid 2014 and newer
- iMac Pro: Late 2017
- Mac Pro: Late 2013 and newer
If your computer does not meet these requirements, you can use AirParrot 3 to mirror your Mac to Reflector 4 or an Apple TV.
Follow the steps below to mirror your Mac to Reflector:
Step 1
Be sure your Mac is on the same network as the computer that has Reflector 4 installed.
Step 2
Launch Reflector 4 on the computer you wish to mirror to.
Step 3
On the Mac you would like to mirror, locate the AirPlay mirroring icon. It is located near your clock at the top right of the screen.
Step 4
Click on the AirPlay menu, and you should see a list of available devices.
Step 5
Tap on the destination computer's name.
Step 6
Your Mac should now be mirroring successfully to your computer.
