iPad cannot connect to Zoom through AirPlay - Ventura 13.2

MacBook Pro (M2 2022). MacOs is up to date (Ventura 13.2 22D49). iPad Pro 3rd gen. iOS also up to date. (iPadOS 16.3)


Zoom client updated for the M2 chip (5.13.6 14918)


Per previous community question/answer, I disabled the AirPlay Receiver in AirDrop and Handoff. Sharing my iPad via Airplay worked for 2 sessions a week ago. Tried again today and and it won't connect. Get the error message "Unable to connect to Zoom-MacBook Pro".


I've tried restarting networks, restarting zoom, reinstalling the latest Zoom client software, rebooting both machines...


I can mirror my iPad Screen to the MacBook so I know that we are definitely on the same wifi network - nothing wonky there.


I can get the share to work in Zoom using a cable, but I don't want to use up one of my precious ports with that when it should work (and has worked) over wifi.


As far as I know, I haven't changed anything since it worked last week...


Any suggestions?

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 13.2

Greetings Thollabaugh, 


We understand that you’re attempting to AirPlay the Zoom app from your Mac to your iPad. Does doing something like using Side Car give you the results you’re wanting? Use an iPad as a second display for a Mac


With Sidecar, you can use your iPad as a display that extends or mirrors your Mac desktop.

Get ready
• Before continuing, make sure that your Mac and iPad meet the Sidecar system requirements, including that each is signed with the same Apple ID.
• You can use Sidecar wirelessly, but to keep your iPad charged during use, connect it directly to your Mac with the USB charge cable that came with your iPad.

Move a Mac window to your iPad
Move your pointer over the full-screen button of a window on your Mac, then choose the option to move that window to your iPad. 

You can repeat this step for other Mac windows, or simply drag other Mac windows to and from your iPad. To move a window back to your Mac, you can also move your pointer over the full-screen button and choose Move Window Back to Mac.

If you want your iPad to mirror your Mac screen instead of extending its desktop:
• In macOS Monterey or later, choose a mirroring option from the Screen Mirroring menu in the menu bar.
• In macOS Big Sur, choose a mirroring option from the Display menu in Control Center or the menu bar.
• In macOS Catalina, choose a mirroring option from the AirPlay menu in the menu bar.

If that isn’t quite what your goal is, let’s work to isolate AirPlay. Is other content successfully being transmitted via AirPlay? Are you able to AirPlay Zoom from your iPad back to your Mac? 


Thanks.
