Is Airplay available on the M1 macbook air?

Hi hakeem137,

To clarify, the M1 MacBook Air can AirPlay to supported devices, and it can also act as an AirPlay receiver. However, your iPad cannot act as an AirPlay receiver.

That said, you can use Sidecar to mirror your Mac's screen to your iPad. For more details: Use an iPad as a second display for a Mac - Apple Support

Yes: Stream audio and video from your Mac with AirPlay - Apple Support

Is it not working for you?

I would like to airplay my M1 MacBook air screen on my Ipad pro

I understand. Apple calls that feature "Sidecar":

Sidecar on your Mac - Apple Support
