I just purchased a secondhand 21" iMac, and I'd like to use it to mirror the display of my 13" MacBook Air. Is it possible to do this wirelessly, and if so, how would I do it? And either way, what will I need to do to mirror my MBA's screen on the iMac?
iMac 21.5″, macOS 10.13
There is no built in support to mirror one Mac wirelessly to another.
You can use a 3rd party solution such as Luna Display: https://shop.astropad.com/pages/meet-mac-to-mac-mode
Alternatively if the iMac is a supported model, and your MacBook air is not running Catalina, you can use Target Display mode directly over USB: Use your iMac as a display with target display mode - Apple Support

Thanks for your answer, Phil. I actually found that Screen Sharing works perfectly just for this.
Amazing how this still isn't supported natively–sure, you can mirror every other Apple device (and others) on and to a Mac, but not another Mac. Just crazy.
Mirroring Display Wirelessly from MBA to iMac?
