This differs with IOS who would have less multi tasking philosophy and where you can choose Airplay or Mirroring on device level.I see you have both ProtonVPN and OpenVPN installed. I phoned Apple about this: they say that the reason is that the mac sometimes displays different video content at the same time and that it must be activated in the software of the application. Show me where the Airplay-icon is in Monterey outside of webbrowser! It just have been removed. And this is a serious bummer, because some streaming content is cannot be visioned through proper Airplay anymore. In the Monterey finder, you can only initiate Mirroring (icon with overlapping screens) from the topbar. In Older operation systems as mojave you could stream any video content through Airplay (NOT MIRRORING) from the topbar in the browser. Airplay (screen with triangle icon) is only available in the application webpage, if it is programmed. You can add an Airplay device in System Preferences->Display:" "Airplay mirrorring or extending the desktop is available system-wide. I just don't see why Apple had to make controlling display output from my Mac so difficult. I'm not against being able to display from an ios device to a Mac. As if my $5K Mac's main purpose is to be a peripheral for my phone. Meanwhile, the Apple fan press is crowing about how neat it is to easily make my Mac into a display for an iPhone. To use the AppleTV again, you have to repeat the process in System Preferences.Īnd how do you stop sending video to the AppleTV? There is no Stop Mirroring option, and there are no checkboxes on the menu, so you just have to figure out that the trick is to click on the AppleTV in the pulldown menu from the temporary displays icon on the toolbar. Once you have added the AppleTV, THEN an icon for displays appears on the Toolbar, but only until you stop using the AppleTV as a second display. If you want to switch between mirroring and extending, you have to click on the Display Preferences button to bring up yet another screen. (and what if you only want the display output and not the audio output to the AppleTV? How do you control that now?) THIS is where Apple hid the Airplay functionality that the OP was asking about. Unintuitively, when you select an AppleTV in the Add Display menu, the AUDIO will also be streamed to the AppleTV. With Monterey you now have to open System Preferences, select Displays, and click Add Display and select your AppleTV there. (ALSO I used to have the Display icon on my toolbar to make it easy to get to controlling my displays, but Apple took that away a few years ago) There was the option to stop streaming your desktop to the AppleTV. There were options like whether to mirror or extend the display. It would be more technically correct to say that Apple decided to make the functionality much harder to access and to further muddy their human interface guidelines.Īs others have told you, streaming content from the Mac to AppleTV used to be as simple as clicking on the Airplay icon on the toolbar and selecting your AppleTV device. In some vicious unhelpful semantic sense, I guess you can say that there was no loss of functionality.
