How to Airplay on Roku: For Screen Mirror Your I Phone, I Pad, or Mac!

With Apple’s handy AirPlay casting feature, you can send content from your iPhone, iPad, or Mac to a wide variety of Roku players. This allows you to view media such as videos, photos, and more on your television.

Content from apps and websites, such as Hulu or HBO Max, can be AirPlayed to your Roku straight from your iOS device, Mac, or PC. Also, the Control Center on an iOS device or the Mirror Display option in the menu bar on a Mac allows you to send your entire display to your Roku.

All the steps are outlined below.

Set up AirPlay on Roku

1. Connect your Apple device to the same Wi-Fi network as your Roku streaming media player.

• To access Roku’s settings, select the option below “Home” on the main menu.
• Choose “Apple AirPlay and HomeKit” from the list of options under “Settings.”

Search for the music, video, photo, or podcast on your iOS device and send it to your TV.

What comes next depends on the streaming app you’re using. Some of the most typical cases are as follows:

From the Spotify app:

Instead of streaming content directly from an app, you can use the “Screen Mirroring” feature in the Control Center to project your entire iOS device’s display onto your Roku.

1. Access your device’s Settings menu. The Control Center can be accessed from the modern home screen or lock screen by swiping down from the top right corner. The Control Center can be accessed by swiping up from the bottom of the screen on older devices (those without a home button).
2.  Select “Screen Mirroring” from the Settings menu.
3. Next, choose your Roku player from the pop-up menu.
4. Fourth, if your Roku prompts you to enter an AirPlay passcode, do so on your iOS device.
5.  At this point, your iOS device’s screen should begin mirroring onto your Roku.

To Roku via AirPlay or Display Mirroring on A Mac

Using AirPlay or screen mirroring, you can stream content from your Mac to Roku just like you would on an iOS device.

If you want to mirror your Mac’s screen to your Roku, do the following:

1. In order for AirPlay to work, you must first enable it on your Mac. If the AirPlay icon (a square with a triangle protruding from it) does not appear in the menu bar at the top of your screen, go to System Preferences and click on “Displays.” Select the option to “Show mirroring options in the menu bar when available” at the page’s end under Displays.
2. Once you’ve enabled AirPlay and are within range of your Roku TV, you can select it by clicking the AirPlay button in your device’s menu bar.
3. You may be prompted to enter an AirPlay passcode from your Roku’s screen into a pop-up window on your Mac.
4. Afterward, your Mac’s display should start reflecting on your Roku.
