You can use Airplay if you have an Airplay compatible smart TV or an Apple TV box. The same with mirror. The difference is that Airplay can play the actual movie full screen along with pause and other controls, but screen mirroring will show your whole computer screen.


This is a public forum, and it thus not a good place to post any personal information such as your email address. I’ve asked the hosts to remove it.
