    1. Connect your iOS device and Apple TV to the same Wi-Fi network.

     

     

    2. Open the Videos, Safari or Photos app on your device.

     

     

    3. Locate and tap the AirPlay icon   (if attempting to AirPlay video content from Safari or Videos, begin playback first).

     

     

    4. Select your Apple TV from the list of available devices that appears and begin playback.
