Can I stream from my iPhone 15 Pro Max to my 2017 iMac on AirPlay?

Can I stream from my iPhone 15 Pro Max to my 2017 iMac on Airplay? Or is the iMac too old? It is a Retina 5K, 27", 2017 running Ventura 13.7. The iPhone is an iPhone 15 Pro Max, running IOS 17.5.1

Many thanks.

Continuity features and requirements for Apple devices - Apple Support


Your iMac is too old to use the macOS AirPlay to Mac feature. In the case of an iMac, that requires one introduced "in 2019 or later."


You may be able to find third-party applications that will do a similar job. A quick Google search turned up several:

I don't have experience with any of these, and am only providing links for informational purposes. You may want to see if you can find any reviews (other than those on the vendor sites).
