MacOS Airplay Receiver Windowed Mode?

• Is it possible to have the airplay receiver go into windowed mode instead of full screen mode?

My end goal is to cast my ipad screen to my macbook while having other macos applications open next to it.

Specs:

Macos Monterey

• Macbook Pro 16" 2020

• Ipad 2020

I do not see it happening in a "windowed" mode... it is mirroring only.

If your hardware is compatible— mirroring your iPhone to Mac is a feature Monterey /iOS 15.1

Sorry, barberlives123... Airplay to Mac is one of the features of Monterey.

So your reply would have been accurate two days ago, but the OP is specifically asking about Monterey.

I will have to test after I get around to installing it. I would be surprised that it can't be done, seeing how we can use PIP for most videos. Maybe it is not there in the initial release.

Hey there orangebeer,

Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities. You can use AirPlay to mirror your iPad to an Apple TV or AirPlay 2-compatible smart TV but not to your Mac. You can read more about this here:

Use AirPlay to stream video or mirror the screen of your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch

Take care.
