Hello sunkudon,


We'd love to assist you with setting up your Mac to be an AirPlay Receiver. First, you would have to have macOS Monterey or later to use the feature. You can update by completing the steps listed here: How to upgrade to macOS Monterey - Apple Support


Once done, you should be able to make the changes and select the feature by completing the steps listed here:

1. On your Mac, choose Apple menu  > System Preferences, then click Sharing .
2. Select the AirPlay Receiver checkbox in the service list on the left.
3. Select which devices can use AirPlay to stream content to this Mac.
• Current user: Only devices signed in to your Apple ID can see and use AirPlay to stream content to this Mac.
• Anyone on the same network: Any nearby Mac, iPhone, or iPad on the same network can see and use AirPlay to stream content to this Mac.
• Everyone: Any Mac, iPhone, or iPad can see and use AirPlay to stream content to this Mac.
4. Select the “Require password” checkbox, then type the password in the text field.


This is from Set up your Mac to be an AirPlay receiver - Apple Support.


Best regards
