Can I use a 2017 imac as a display for my macbook using airplay?
Currently I have a 2017 iMac running Ventura 13.5 and I want to airplay my 2023 MacBook Pro to it. Is there any way to do that?
Question marked as
Your iMac is too old to be an AirPlay Receiver using just the code built into macOS.

There are several third-party applications that can add a similar feature. One is AirServer . Another is Reflector . This AlternativeTo article lists some others. I'm not familiar with any, other than knowing they exist – so you'll have to do your own research as far as reviews and such.
Note that AirPlay is not as good as a hardware connection to a real monitor … the original version was largely a way to let you show photos and videos from your iPhone on your HDTV. So it may or may not be suitable for the purpose you have in mind.
