Before you begin, make sure that both your MacBook Air and your TV are compatible with wireless connections. Most modern TVs and MacBook Airs come with built-in wireless capabilities, such as Wi-Fi or Bluetooth. However, it’s always good to double-check the specifications of your devices to ensure compatibility.

2. If you have multiple input sources, use the input button to cycle through them until you find the one that shows your MacBook Air’s name.

4. Connect Your MacBook Air to Your TV

1. Click the AirPlay icon in the menu bar at the top of your MacBook Air’s screen. This icon looks like a rectangle with a Wi-Fi signal.
2. Select your TV from the list of available devices. If your TV is not listed, make sure it is powered on and set to the correct input source.
3. Once your MacBook Air is connected to your TV, you should see your screen mirrored on the TV. You can now enjoy your content on a larger screen.
