Restart Devices    <\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>After you make sure that your devices are compatible with AirPlay, you can now try the easiest solution. Sometimes a glitch and temporary issues inside the devices will cause make AirPlay not working. This time, a restart can solve a wide variety of them. Make sure to wait for a few seconds after you turn off them.<\/p>\n<div class=\"tc2\" style=\"align: middle;\">\n<a onClick=\"return hs.expand(this)\" href=\"  https:\/\/www.leawo.org\/entips\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/restart-phone.jpeg\"><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"img_big lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.leawo.org\/entips\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/restart-phone.jpeg\" alt=\"  restart-phone\" width=\"500\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 703px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 703\/369;\"><\/noscript><\/a>\n<\/div>\n<h3 class=\"wp-h3\"><strong>3. Check Internet Status    <\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>AirPlay works over Wi-Fi. To cover the basics, make sure that both your TV and your phone are connected to the same Wifi network. If this is ensured, then you should have a check in the internet status. The network is cut off and the AirPlay will not operate normally. I know this is an easy solution, but I'm not surprised when there are so many people forgetting to check.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-h3\"><strong>4. Check for Update   <\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>There may be bugs in elder version of AirPlay or your devices. Updating for new versions can fix a variety of bugs, which might be connected to the AirPlay not working problem.\u00a0 If you don't know how to check for update on iOS devices, here is the guide.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\" background-color:#1E90FF \">Step 1:<\/span> Open the \"Settings\" panel and tap \"General\".<\/p>\n<p><span style=\" background-color:#1E90FF \">Step 2:<\/span> On the \"General\" page, tap \"Software Update\".<\/p>\n<p><span style=\" background-color:#1E90FF \">Step 3:<\/span> On the pop-out page, tap \"Automatic Updates\". Make sure that both the \"Download iOS Updates\" and \"Install iOS Updates\" buttons are turned on. If there is an new update, it will update automatically when you connect to the WiFi.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-h3\"><strong>5. Make Sure AirPlay Is Turned On<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Make sure that your AirPlay feature is turned on. However, the problem is that there is no visual indicator to tell whether you have run it. What's more, an automatic software update or a firmware reset will make AirPlay shut down without warning. <\/p>\n<p>AirPlay is always on in iPhone, so you just need to check it on your Mac or other Apple devices. Here's what you can do: <\/p>\n<p><span style=\" background-color:#FFE4BE  \">Step 1:<\/span> \u00a0Open \"System Preferences\", which you can do by clicking the Apple symbol in the menu bar at the top of your screen.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\" background-color:#FFE4BE  \">Step 2:<\/span> In \"System Preferences\", find and select the icon for \"Displays,\" which looks like a computer monitor.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><span style=\" background-color:#FFE4BE  \">Step 3:<\/span> Check the box next to \"Show mirroring options in the menu bar when available.\"\u00a0<\/p>\n<div class=\"tc2\" style=\"align: middle;\">\n<a onClick=\"return hs.expand(this)\" href=\" https:\/\/www.leawo.org\/entips\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/check-show-mirroring-option.jpg \"><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"img_big lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.leawo.org\/entips\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/check-show-mirroring-option.jpg\" alt=\" check-show-mirroring-option \" width=\"500\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 700px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 700\/463;\"><\/noscript><\/a>\n<\/div>\n<h3 class=\"wp-h3\"><strong>6. Convert File Format   <\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Not all media types are supported by AirPlay, which may result in an error message that says \"video format not supported\" or AirPlay not working issue. It isn't entirely clear what the AirPlay unsupported video formats are, but you can try to convert them to Mac or iPhone supported format to fix it.
