    My macbook doesn't have the Airplay icon option to click on in the Display section. Is this because it's older than the macbook you are using in this video?

    Same here, and we can no longer connect via HDMI, Apple want their customers to buy Apple monitors and not use our tv as a monitor. I can’t use Mirror sharing either.

    Hello. First of all, thank you for this, it is helpful. I have a question. I was watching a movie last night on my tv. I connected my MacBook to the tv via HDMI, but how do I get the MacBook display to turn off while I watch something on my tv? Is this even possible? It was possible o my old windows computer. Am I doing something wrong? Thank you!

    I was having trouble using my Samsung Smart HDTV as an external display while trying to watch movies with my Apple TV app on my Mac book. I didn't want to Airplay with my MacBook, as I wanted to use an HDMI cable from my laptop directly to my TV. Whenever I tried to watch a movie on my HDTV I would get a message saying that it couldn't because of HDCP issues. I then decided to download the movies to my computer and to my surprise I was then able to view the movies with no problem. In the process I made sure that I went to my account setting on Apple TV app on my laptop and authorized my computer with my Apple ID. Not sure which process solved the problem. So if downloading movies solved the problem, or authorizing my account within the Apple TV app solved the problem it worked. Hope this will help folks who are having similar issues while trying to stream movies on an external display.

    Just about any option using a wire from the Mac to the tv will be fine. However, if your internet is slow and the video is choppy, then that's a network issue.

    Wired method doesn't work very well for me. A major lag between Macbook & TV, and the audio is crackled. Not sure how to fix that...

  • @walterreed5849
    @walterreed5849 Жыл бұрын

    Instead of an adapter, for the wired method can you use a single cable that at one end has a USB-C fitting and the other end has an HDMI fitting and connect directly? I’m trying to connect my MacBook Pro to my projector and wanted to know if this would work

    Whichever view you choose, for instance as long as the TV is mirroring the Mac then sound will automatically play from the TV, but I’m sure you can alter sound output in the settings via the Mac

    Which method is better to pass the signal, hdmi to usb c or hdmi to hdmi?

  • @Babblingboolean

    @Babblingboolean

    Жыл бұрын

    Hard to say. USB-C has multiple versions, so does HDMI ex. HDMI 2.0, 2.1, etc. Unfortunately what should be simple, can be complicated. If you're not concerned with mirroring the best quality of your Mac (from mirroring a movie or something), don't overthink it. Research a good quality solution with good customer reviews, that is easiest for you and use it. If it's no good, then return it.
