TV mirroring not working

Want to mirror my MacBook Pro to (android) TV. When go to Screen Mirroring - there is NO drop Down menu. I have (new) iPhone, an iPad, and an Android Jetstream AGT418 box for TV (Bluetooth says TV is connected). NOTHING SHOWS UP. All are on the same Wi-Fi network, and are working fine. But don't show on my MacBook when I want to mirror??... What can I do?

Thanx in advance

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 10.13

Hi capewrt,


Thank you for participating in the Apple Support Communities. We understand you'd like to use AirPlay to stream what's on your Mac to your TV. You'll want to make sure you're following these steps: Use AirPlay to stream what’s on your Mac to an HDTV.


"AirPlay Mirroring lets you send what’s on your Mac to an HDTV wirelessly with Apple TV.


  1. Make sure your Mac and Apple TV are on the same network.
  2. Click Control Center  in the menu bar, click the Screen Mirroring icon , then choose your Apple TV.
  3. If asked, enter a four-digit code on your Mac.
  4. To set whether your desktop mirrors or extends your Mac screen, click the Screen Mirroring icon , then choose Mirror Built-in Display or Use As Separate Display.

You can also connect your Mac to a TV with a cable or in Displays settings. See Connect one or more external displays with your Mac."


If that's not working, you could contact your TV manufacturer to make sure it's compatible or use a cable connection.


Take care.
