Keep Macbook on when clolsed lid, when i mirroring mac by airplay with apple TV.

Hihi,

Hope you have a good day.

May I know how to keep Macbook on when clolsed lid, when i mirroring mac by airplay with apple TV.

As once i closed the macbook lid, apple tv will go back to home instead of keep mirroring my macbook to monitor.

Thanks!

Best regards,

airplay display button The airplay display button on my 2019 MacBook Pro (macOS Big Sur) will not switch from off to on, so I can not use screen mirroring to my Sony tv. It's a recent problem. Seems to have started when I upgraded to BigSur. Solution?

Display Menu Bar Icon goes away Hello! I set up a Samsung smart tv within the past few weeks, and have been using it as a second display (not mirroring) my 2020 13" Macbook Pro. I know it can display to it, as I've done it before, but I am getting annoyed that I have to go to settings and click Displays then choose the device that I want to use AirPlay with. I have selected the "show mirroring options in menu bar" option, but it only shows up while I am connected to the TV. When I have to TV on, within range, and ready to connect, it doesn't show in the menu bar, and I have to go to settings. Is there a way to keep the display icon in the menu bar at all times?

Launching SideCar Under Catalina Disables Airplay Video Since configuring and successfully using SideCar for the first time, I am no longer able to AirPlay Mirror my Mac Screen to TVs via Apple TV. When activating AirPlay, the TV screen goes blank but my MacBook Pro thinks it is connected. When I disable the connection, TV screen shows Apple TV (ATV) home-screen as usual. Once this behavior begins, I try to go back and use SideCar again but instead of getting the Mac screen on it, I get same blank screen that I've been getting from the TVs. Only rebooting my machine seems to reset the screen streaming system - for 1 or 2 more times, but then the blank-screen-AirPlay behavior returns. Crazily, I accidentally tried to AirPlay to ATV while having an external monitor physically connected, then suddenly my laptop screen displayed on both devices - TV and monitor. I disconnected the monitor and the TV screen display remained visible. So, this is my current workaround: 1.) Initiate ATV AirPlay 2.) With blank TV screen, plug external monitor into MacBook Pro 3.) Once both show laptop screen, disconnect the monitor cable OR reboot laptop before each time I want to AirPlay or SideCar APPLE - Need you to GET ON A FIX for this right away ! My equipment Specs are: MacBook Pro 15" - From Fall 2016 running macOS Catalina iPad Pro 12.9" 3rd generation - running iOS 13.1.2 Apple TV 4th Generation - running tvOS 13.0 Apple TV 3rd Generation - running latest tvOS supported MacBook Connection to iPad For SideCard - wireless or wired yield same results
