How to use AirPlay on Apple TV to stream content from your iPhone, iPad, or Mac

• You can use Apple TV AirPlay to stream from your iPhone, iPad, or Mac to your television.
• On iPhone or iPad, you can AirPlay from apps like Photos and Hulu, or mirror your entire screen. 
• On Mac, you can AirPlay from some websites like YouTube, or cast your entire computer screen. 

AirPlay is a useful tool that lets you project content from an Apple device to your Apple TV. 

On a Mac, you can use AirPlay from the menu bar to cast your computer's entire screen to your Apple TV. You can also AirPlay videos directly from some websites like YouTube without casting your entire screen. 

On an iPad or iPhone, you can use AirPlay directly from an app that supports the feature, such as Apple Photos, Hulu, Amazon Prime Video, and others. You'll know if AirPlay is supported in the app if you see the AirPlay icon in the corner of the screen on your device. If AirPlay isn't an available option on the app, you can mirror your iPhone's entire screen to your Apple TV instead.

Before you start, you have to make sure your iPhone, iPad, or Mac are on the same Wi-Fi network as your Apple TV . If they're not, your Apple TV won't be able to find your other devices.

How to AirPlay to Apple TV from a Mac 

Before you begin, make sure AirPlay is turned on in System Preferences. 

To AirPlay your entire screen:

1. Click on the AirPlay icon in the right corner of the menu bar at the top of your computer screen. It looks like a rectangle with a triangle at the bottom.

2. Scroll down to locate your Apple TV. Your Mac should see any AirPlay devices within range, including your Apple TV. Click on "Apple TV."

3. Your computer's screen will now appear on your television and anything you do or view will appear on the TV.

To AirPlay content directly from a website or app:

1. Open the app or website, like YouTube, that you want to AirPlay from and start playing the video. To AirPlay from websites, use Safari instead of Google Chrome. 

2. Click the AirPlay icon — it should be located in the corner of the video, near other video playback controls. 

3. Choose your Apple TV from the list of devices.

4. If an AirPlay code appears on your Apple TV, type the code into the pop-up on your Mac.

Stream a video straight from your iPhone to your TV

By Aliya Chaudhry

Share this story

If you want to cast a video from your iPhone to your TV, or if you want to watch YouTube on a larger screen, AirPlay, Apple’s casting feature, will help you do that . AirPlay allows you to wirelessly cast audio or video from your iPhone, iPad, or Mac to an Apple TV or an AirPlay 2-compatible smart TV , as long as your device is connected to the same Wi-Fi as the TV.

You can stream videos from any iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, or Mac. You can even stream video from a Windows PC, but only through iTunes. Just make sure your device’s operating system is relatively recent (a list of the various OS requirements can be found here ).

With the latest version , AirPlay 2, you can also stream audio to multiple rooms, decide which room to play it in, and pair speakers. Here’s how to stream audio using AirPlay .

Here’s how to use AirPlay to cast videos from your iPhone, your Mac, and your Windows PC.

Use AirPlay on your iPhone

These instructions are specifically for an iPhone, but the steps are similar for an iPad or an iPod touch. The biggest differences in the procedure depend on what app you’re playing video from. You’ll have to follow one of two sets of steps:

• If you see an AirPlay button — which looks like a rectangle with an arrow pointing up at the bottom — when you open up the app or a video in the app, tap on that to use AirPlay. For example, in the YouTube app for iPad, there will be an AirPlay button in the bottom right corner of the video.
• If you don’t see an AirPlay button, then you’ll need to select the app’s option for casting, sharing, or playing content on a different device, and then tap the AirPlay option. For example, in the YouTube app for iPhone, you would tap the cast button at the top of the screen (it looks like a rectangle with a Wi-Fi symbol coming out of the bottom left corner) and then tap “AirPlay & Bluetooth devices.” In Photos, tap the share button (which looks like a square with an arrow coming out of the top). Then, scroll down and tap AirPlay.

• For either type of app, tap the device you want to use AirPlay with.

• Your TV may display a code. Enter that in the box on your phone’s screen and tap OK.
• Now you’re casting your video to your TV via AirPlay.

• To stop casting, open up the AirPlay window in the same way you accessed it above (again, this will differ depending on the app) and tap “iPhone” on the list of devices. This will return your feed from the TV back to your iPhone. In Photos, you’ll have to tap the AirPlay icon in the top right corner and then “My Device.”

Use Airplay on your Mac

• Open up the video you’d like to cast to your TV.
• Click on the AirPlay button. Often (but not always) you’ll find it in the bottom right corner of the video. (We found that it was best to access YouTube through Safari rather than Chrome.)
• Select the device you’d like to cast your video to from the drop-down options.

• Your Mac may ask you for the code displayed on your TV. Enter it into the pop-up window.
• When you want to stop casting, click on the same AirPlay button you clicked on earlier to start AirPlay. Then click “Turn off AirPlay” from the drop-down menu.

Using AirPlay on your PC

You can use AirPlay on your Windows PC, but only for content on iTunes. To do that:

• Open iTunes and start playing a video.
• Click on the AirPlay button in the bottom left-hand corner of the screen.
• Select the device from which you want to watch.
• You may be prompted to enter a code. If so, enter the code on your TV into the pop-up window on your PC.
• You should now be watching your video on your TV.

• To stop AirPlay, click on the AirPlay button again and then select “My Computer.”

There is another way to cast video to your TV: by using screen mirroring to cast your entire screen to your TV. We’ll walk through those steps in an upcoming article.

How to surf the web on Apple TV

For reasons best known to Apple, there is no web browser available on the Apple TV. Despite the fact that the Apple TV runs a version of iOS there is not a version of Safari designed for Apple TV and there is no substitute web browser available in the TV App Store. 

But before you drown in disappointment, there are a few ways in which you can surf the web on your Apple TV. Read on to find out how. 


We’ll look at three ways in which you can access your favourite websites on your TV screen, including popular TV Catchup channels, FaceBook, Google’s search engine and more. Read about how to watch OnDemand TV channels on Apple TV here .

Method 1: Surf the web on your Apple TV using AirPlay 


This is the easiest way to surf the web on the Apple TV. It’s ideal if you want to share the surfing experience with friends and family who are in the room with you, or if what you are looking at on the web would benefit from a bigger screen. 

Using Apple’s AirPlay you can stream the screen of your iPhone or your Mac to your TV screen. 


Pros: You can see everything that you see on your iPhone or Mac on the TV screen. 


Cons: You might as well be looking at your iPhone or Mac screen, and when it comes to scrolling and typing you will be. You won’t be able to use your iPhone for anything else while you are mirroring it’s screen on the TV.

How to view your iPhone screen on your TV

• Swipe up from the bottom of your iPhone to view Control Centre.
• Tap on Screen Mirroring 
Choose your Apple TV.
• You may be required to enter an AirPlay code for the Apple TV you are connecting too. This code will appear on the TV Screen attached to the Apple TV.
• Navigate to Safari on your iPhone and surf the web.
• If you rotate our iPhone into landscape you should be able to view the web using the full screen of your TV (some apps, like Facebook won’t rotate).

How to view the screen of your Mac on your TV

• Click on the AirPlay icon from the menu bar at the top of the screen (a triangle pointing into a box)
• Choose your Apple TV from the options
• Your Mac display may alter so that it is optimised for the Apple TV (this made everything smaller on our MacBook screen) .
• There are a few different ways you can set up AirPlay on your Mac and TV screen. You could mirror the Mac screen on the TV, in which case you will see everything on your Mac duplicated over on the TV.
• However, if you want to surf on your TV screen, while leaving your Mac free to do something else, you can change the arrangement of your screens – this would be ideal if you wanted to stream video to your TV while typing into a Pages document on your Mac at the same time.
• Open System Preferences > Display and click on Arrangement

• Now based on how you arrange the screens you can drag your Safari (or other browser) window over to the Apple TV screen. To figure our which display is which in the illustration under the Arrangement tab click on the screen and you will see a red outline on the one that represents the Apple TV. Drag in that direction and the browser will appear on your TV screen.
• You can now use your mouse, or trackpad to scroll around the browser on your TV screen.
• We find it preferable to use a separate keyboard and mouse because they feel less connected to your Mac and therefore you feel more like you are surfing the web on the TV. Even better if you have a wireless mouse and keyboard. One reason why this feels more natural is that you don’t need to look at your Mac at all while surfing.
• Remember that you won’t be able to continue using your Mac while someone else surfs the web on the TV screen (or rather you can, but there will be a battle over the mouse and keyboard). It’s the perfect set up for showing video on the TV screen – perhaps something on All4 or another Catch Up TV channel – while using your Mac for something else.

Method 2 – Surf the web using AirBrowser on your iPhone

One issue with surfing the web on your TV screen via your iPhone and AirPlay is the fact that you have to scroll and swipe around on your iPhone so you might as well be doing your surfing on that device rather than the TV. As we said earlier, it’s ideal if you want other people in the room to see what you are looking at, but otherwise, we’re not sure what you really gain.

Here’s where AirBrowser comes in.

Pros: AirBrowser puts a web browser on your TV screen while reserving the iPhone for controls and a keypad. You get a full desktop view of the web pages. 

Cons: Not all elements of web pages worked in AirBrowser. Some forms were difficult to fill in if they used multiple choice. It costs £5.

AirBrowser places controls for browsing the web on your iPhone – so you can swipe around the page, or type using the iPhone keyboard, but the actual web page appears on the TV screen.

• Download AirBrowser from the App Store on your iPhone (it costs £4.99)
• Open the AirBrowser app.
• You will be asked to Connect Second Screen, the animation shows you how, except the animation shows how it worked in iOS 10, rather than iOS 11.
• Swipe up on Control Panel and choose Screen Mirroring.
• Choose your Apple TV.
• Now you should see a browser on the TV screen and a url bar on the iPhone. Tap on the URL bar and enter the name of the site you wish to visit, or a search phrase.
• On the TV screen you will either see the website you wished to visit or the results of your Google search.
• To scroll down the page swipe upwards with two fingers.
• To click on a link use one finger to track to the link and tap.
• To go back to the previous page tap on the back arrow at the top of the iPhone interface.
• To view all the tabs you have open tap on the central icon that shows 9 dots.
• You can view the site as it would appear on desktop or mobile by swiping between the two options at the bottom of the page.

We did encounter a few difficulties using AirBrowser. For example when it came to signing in to use services sometimes we weren’t able to because where a site used a multiple choice selection tool for, say, your date of birth or title, it wasn’t possible to select an option.

At other times we found that we couldn’t play video because it was in Flash. The browser seems to fool the site into thinking it’s a Mac, but of course your TV and your iPhone can’t download Flash so you can’t view the content.

Another issue we had was when viewing iTV player. We were able to get it to play the content but we weren’t able to select full screen view in order for the video player to fill the TV screen. Instead we were able to increase page size by zooming in (pinch to zoom). We had more success with iTV player than any of the other TV services. On my5 we got a video playback errors.

Method 3 – Using tvOSBrowser to surf the web on your Apple TV

This one is a little more complicated to set up, but essentially gives you a web browser on your Apple TV. You’ll need an Apple Developer account (which is free), Xcode and a USB-C cable or an adapter. If that doesn’t sound like you it probably won’t be worth you reading any further.

Pros: This is the closest you will get to an web browser app for the Apple TV.

Cons: It’s not easy to install and probably isn’t worth the effort.

Of course if you like tinkering with things like this, then go ahead. This would probably interest you too: How to jailbreak an Apple TV.

• We’ll assume you have a developer account. If not you need to set one up here developer.apple.com/account.
• Download Xcode from the Mac App Store.
• Get a USB-A to USB-C cable.
• Download the source code to tvOSBrowser using Xcode (you can get it from here https://github.com/steventroughtonsmith/tvOSBrowser)
• This is where it all gets a little complicated. You have to remove some code in order to get the tvOSBrowser to work. We suggest you read this tutorial here .

How to use Apple AirPlay to mirror your iPhone, Mac screen on TV, Roku and more

Apple AirPlay makes getting photos and video from your phone to a TV incredibly easy.

Getting your iPhone screen onto your TV is easier than you think.

Ever want to get a video clip of photos from your phone to the big TV screen? If you have an iPhone , or an  iPad  tablet or Mac  computer, it's incredibly easy. The only catch is that your TV needs a way to work with AirPlay, Apple's system for screen mirroring. The good news is that more smart TVs than ever, as well as Roku and Apple TV streaming devices, can make it happen.

Any iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch running iOS 4.2 or newer will have AirPlay  built-in, so even if you have an Apple device that's several years old, it most likely supports and works with AirPlay. On the TV side you'll need a compatible Roku  TV or streamer, an Apple TV streamer or a 2019 or newer smart TV from LG, Samsung, Sony or Vizio. Amazon's newest Fire TV models also support AirPlay, but Fire TV sticks do not. Note that Roku and smart TVs require AirPlay 2 on your Apple devices, which is available with iOS 12.3 or later and MacOS Mojave 10.14.5 or later.

Roku streamers and Roku TVs work with Apple AirPlay now too.

Have an Apple TV or AirPlay 2 compatible device? It's easy peasy

If you already use an Apple TV to stream movies and shows, or have a  Roku device or smart TV that supports Apple's AirPlay 2 protocol  as mentioned above, then you don't need to buy or do anything other than tap a few buttons on your screen. Just make sure your Apple device and Apple TV are on the same Wi-Fi network, then follow these instructions. There are two sets: One for the iPhone and iPad, and one for Mac. 

Mirror your iPhone or iPad display in just a couple of taps. 

Mirror your iPhone or iPad

1. Swipe down from the top-right corner on newer iPhone models, or up from the bottom of the display, to access Control Center . 

2. Tap the Screen Mirroring button. 

3. Select your TV.

4. If prompted, enter the passcode shown on your TV. 

5. A checkmark will show up next to your TV's name when a connection is made. 

You can then go about using your phone or tablet as you normally would, but everything you do on your screen will also be shown on the TV. To stop mirroring, open the Screen Mirror section in Control Center again and select Stop Mirroring . 

Mirror your Mac's screen with two clicks. 

Mirror your Mac's screen

The steps outlined below assume you're running MacOS Monterey , the latest and greatest version of MacOS. 

1. Click on the Control Center icon in the menu bar. It should be next to the time in the top-right corner, next to the Siri button.  

2.  Click Screen Mirroring .

3.  You'll see a list of devices that are available on your network to mirror your screen on. Click the device you want to use. Your screen will flash and a few seconds later it will show up on the TV. 

Everything you do on your Mac will show up on your TV as long as AirPlay mirroring is turned on. When you're done, click the Screen Mirroring button in Control Center again then click the name of the device you're connected to stop mirroring. 

AirPlay 2 works on many newer smart TVs, allowing you to cast your phone's screen to the TV you already own. 

No Apple TV or Roku? Go wired

If you use a streaming device like  Fire TV  or Chromecast with Google TV , you might not want to buy a Roku or an Apple TV just so you can mirror your iPhone. You can definitely broadcast your screen on your TV with the right equipment. 

A hardwired connection will get the job done. 

You can connect your Apple device directly to your TV by using an adapter and HDMI cable. 

For iPhone and iPad owners with a device that has a Lightning port, you'll need to pick up Apple's $49 Lightning Digital AV Adapter . If you have a 2018 iPad Pro or newer, you'll need Apple's $69 USB-C Digital AV Multiport Adapter . For Macs with USB-C ports, you can use the same USB-C adapter as the iPad Pro . Otherwise, you'll need a  USB-to-HDMI adapter like this one on Amazon .

To use an adapter with your iPhone or iPad, plug it into the bottom of your phone or tablet, connect your charger to the adapter and then plug in your TV's HDMI cable. Mac users will need to plug in the adapter and connect to the HDMI cable. Your device will automatically recognize it's connected to an external display and will show up on your TV as long as you have the input for your HDMI connection selected. You don't have to adjust any settings -- it just works. 

Connecting any computer to a TV can be confusing due to the various plugs and adapters, but we can walk you through the ins and outs.  Mirroring your screen on a TV is incredibly useful, especially for tasks like video chat so the entire family can see.

How to enable AirPlay on iPhone — stream video and audio seamlessly to your Apple TV or Mac

Pure entertainment.

• AirPlay video from iPhone or iPad
• AirPlay audio from iPhone or iPad
• Compatibility

Want to enable AirPlay on iPhone? It's a really useful feature that allows you to stream video, audio and even mirror your display directly from your iPhone to a Mac or Apple TV.

AirPlay is possible thanks to the Apple ecosystem, and all you need is to ensure your Apple devices are on the same Wi-Fi network. AirPlay is great for entertainment, education, and enterprise — tap a button, choose a target, and watch your show or run your presentation.

Here's how to enable AirPlay on iPhone regardless of whether you own an iPhone SE or an iPhone 15 Pro .

How to AirPlay video from your iPhone or iPad

You can AirPlay any video simply by mirroring your screen. Some video players, like YouTube, will even let you AirPlay right from the video pane. Here's how to AirPlay from within an app.

• Play a video
• Tap the AirPlay button
• Choose your TV or Mac from the list
• To stop using AirPlay, tap the AirPlay button and select your iPhone

• On your iPhone or iPad, swipe down from the top right corner of the screen to bring up Control Center
• Tap Screen Mirroring
• Choose the device you'd like to AirPlay to

If you're not on the same Wi-Fi network as the Apple TV you're targeting — for example, if you're at a meeting — the Apple TV will display a code and require you to enter it on your iPhone or iPad before streaming over point-to-point Wi-Fi.

When you want to stop AirPlay, it's just as easy. Simply tap Screen Mirroring in Control Center again and then select Stop Mirroring .

How to AirPlay audio from your iPhone or iPad

Just like with video, some audio apps have a built-in AirPlay button. Whether they do or not, you can always AirPlay your audio from the Now Playing card in Control Center and send it to any Apple TV, AirPort Express-connected speakers, or any speakers with AirPlay built-in.

• Swipe down from the top right corner of the screen to bring up Control Center
• Tap the AirPlay button on the Now Playing widget

When you want to stop listening to audio via AirPlay, it's just as easy. Simply tap the AirPlay button in Control Center again and then select your iPhone .

AirPlay compatibility

Before you can mirror your Mac using AirPlay, you must ensure all your devices are compatible. To use AirPlay Mirroring between devices on the same Wi-Fi network, you need:

• Apple TV (2010 or later)
• Apple TV 4K (2017 or later)
• iMac (2011 or later)
• iMac Pro (2017 or later)
• Mac mini (2011 or later)
• MacBook (2015 or later)
• MacBook Air (2011 or later)
• MacBook Pro (2011 or later)
• Mac Pro (2013 or later)

You should also make sure you're running the latest software for your Mac and Apple TV.

One more thing... Turn up your entertainment

AirPlay is one of those terrific built-in Apple features that many forget when it's time to find something to watch or hear. Use it anytime to watch and listen to your favorite YouTube video, Apple TV series, or album, from your mobile device to Apple TV. You can also use the feature to mirror whatever's happening on your computer screen to Apple TV, which is ideally suited for business meetings, instructional situations, and more. 

AirPlay is a genuinely useful tool that allows you to make the most of your technology in your home. You can use it anytime you want to watch a YouTube video, watch your favorite movie on Apple TV, or listen to Taylor Swift on your HomePods. 

I use AirPlay daily, and it's one of the main reasons I could never move from iPhone to Android. AirPlay is just one of many features that make the Apple ecosystem so intuitive.

With the release of iOS 17 , there are plenty of other features that make the ecosystem even stronger, including the new NameDrop functionality that makes AirDrop better than ever before.

How to use airplay (screen mirroring) on a mac.

Cut the cords and make a big-screen wireless scene with AirPlay.

Quick Links

What is airplay, you'll need an airplay-compatible receiving device, share your screen on macos 11 big sur and later, share your screen on macos 10.15 catalina and earlier.

Thanks to AirPlay , you can wirelessly extend or mirror your Mac's screen to an external display such as an Apple TV, certain smart TVs, or other devices running AirPlay receiver software. Here's how to use it.

AirPlay is Apple's name for the company's proprietary wireless media streaming protocol. AirPlay lets Apple devices such as Macs, iPhones, and iPads stream audio and video over a local network to an AirPlay-compatible receiver device without the need for audio or video cables. It's similar to how  Miracast and Chromecast  work on Windows and Android devices.

One of the most useful features of AirPlay is that you can use it to share (project) your Mac's screen onto another display device. That's what we're going to explore in this article.

Related: AirPlay vs. Chromecast: What's the Difference?

Before we begin, we're going to assume that you already have at least one AirPlay-compatible receiver device connected to the same local network as your Mac. Compatible devices include Apple TV , certain brands of smart TV sets , and other devices running AirPlay receiver software .

Related: How to Screen Mirror on Roku

To share your screen using AirPlay on a Mac running macOS 11 Big Sur or later, first, click the Control Center icon located in the upper-right corner of your screen (in the menu bar). It looks like two tiny toggle switches.

When Control Center appears, click "Screen Mirroring."

Next, you'll see a list of AirPlay-compatible devices that your Mac has discovered on your network. Click one of them to begin mirroring.

(It's worth noting that you will see different AirPlay receiver names than those listed in our example. We're using an Amazon Fire TV running third-party AirPlay receiver software.)

While you're connected and actively sharing your screen, the Screen Mirroring icon in the menu bar will turn blue (It looks like one rectangle overlapping another.).

At any time, click the Screen Mirroring icon to view the status of the connection or to switch from mirroring to "Use As Separate Display" mode, which will treat the AirPlay display as if it were a second monitor hooked to your Mac.

To disconnect and stop sharing your screen, click the Screen Mirroring icon (or click "Screen Mirroring" in Control Center) and click the receiving device name whose icon is highlighted in blue.

After that, you'll stop screen-sharing. You can also control screen-sharing in System Preferences using the Displays > AirPlay Display menu.

If you want to mirror your Mac's screen with an AirPlay-compatible device (such as an Apple TV ) and you're running macOS 10.15 Catalina or earlier, you'll need to do things slightly differently than you would with macOS 11.

First, look for the AirPlay icon (which looks like a rectangle with a small triangle over it) in the menu bar at the top of your screen.

If you don't see the AirPlay icon in your menu bar, navigate to System Preferences > Displays and place a check mark beside "Show mirroring options in the menu bar when available."

Next, close System Preferences and click the AirPlay icon in your menu bar. Select the device that you'd like to screen-share with from the menu that appears.

If the device that you want to project to isn't listed, make sure that both your Mac and the receiving device are connected to the same Wi-Fi access point or local area network.

Once you're connected, the AirPlay icon in your menu bar will turn blue. Click the AirPlay icon to check the status of the AirPlay connection. You can also change the screen-sharing mode from mirroring to "Use As Separate Display," which will use the AirPlay display like a second monitor.

To disconnect, select "Stop AirPlay."

Whenever you need to mirror your display again, AirPlay will be only a click away in your menu bar. Have fun!

Follow on Twitter

Updated on: February 23, 2024

Smart TVs are very popular and pretty much every home will have one somewhere in the house. Apple TV is not a Smart TV, but it can turn an older TV into a Smart TV.

Apple TV is a digital media player that enables you to cast content on your TV. It is a very popular video streaming platform,

The AppleTV device comes with many apps and features, notably being able to browse the web – but it may not seem as apparent as you think, normally you think of a web browser but there is more to it than that…

In this article, we will be exploring how you can browse the web with your Apple TV, just as if you were using an Apple TV web browser, and understand the differences compared to other smart TV platforms and why there isn’t specifically a web browser for Apple TV.

No, there is no web browser on Apple TV. You cannot use Safari on the Apple TV or Google Chrome because there isn’t one available on the device. You simply cannot install one at all.

But do not panic! I wouldn’t have done this article if there weren’t other methods to surf the net, would I?

Even if there’s no browser, you can use IPTV apps on Apple TV .

No, unfortunately, Safari web browser doesn’t come installed on Apple TV and there’s no easy way to install it. The easiest way to get Safari on your Apple TV is by using Airplay to cast the screen from an Apple device such as an iPhone, iPad, or any Apple computer.

If you are a tech person and want to play a bit with the code, there’s a way to actually install Safari on your Apple TV, however, it won’t be for everybody!

Because Apple TV is just not designed to work with a browser. The device could run a web browser but Apple wants users to utilize their phones to connect and cast/stream content to the device itself.

Therefore, we can say that there are 2 main reasons:

It is just not convenient to browse the web via a web browser on your TV. The remote is not intuitive and it is hard to navigate with it, so the next best thing is to use your phone as the remote and the Apple TV as the display.

You can cast the web browser of your phone on your AppleTV. A browser is not made available because you can use your phone to Google things and then cast that content to the device through the Apple Mirroring feature – something which we will learn about later in this article.

So the whole idea is to use your phone as the remote and you can pick and choose content to cast to your Apple TV device. It is clear that Apple wants you to use the native apps that come with the device itself.

So, we now understand there isn’t an actual web browser for Apple TV and we understand why Apple wants users to get a better experience by using the apps provided to them and focusing on users utilizing their phones for easier navigation.

So with all this knowledge, let’s go through some of the ways you can cast/stream content to your Apple TV device as if you were using an Apple TV web browser.

1. Native Apple AirPlay

Airplay is not a web browser and it is not an App that you can download, it is called Apple AirPlay – some of the examples we will be showing, later on, are basically using this feature in the background.

AirPlay is just Apple’s native casting/streaming feature you can use within apps such as YouTube or Netflix etc. You just have to find the AirPlay icon and then select your Apple TV and cast content in a few taps, easy as that.

How To Use AirPlay With Your Apple TV

Here are the simple steps you need to follow to start using AirPlay with your Apple TV via an iOS device:

Connect your iOS device to the same WiFi network . Both your iPhone or iPad etc. need to be connected to the same network as the Apple TV.

Find a video or web page you want to cast . Then look out for the AirPlay icon and tap it.

Tap the AirPlay button . Then you will see a menu that shows your compatible casting devices, hopefully, your Apple TV.

Choose your Apple TV and cast . Your Apple TV should show up in the list of compatible streaming devices, find the correct name like “Living room TV” and select it.

Look out for the AirPlay icon above in the apps on your iOS device, you can cast from many different apps like your Photos, the web browsers, YouTube and other streaming services, etc.

By the way, if you are not a fan of Safari, check out what are the best web browsers for iPhone so you can stream your content in the best way.

2. AirBrowser

A fast and efficient way to use your iPhone or iPad to wirelessly connect to your Apple TV.

As with the other options, this one has a free trial so you can see how it works before you buy it. It has support for gesture control, pinch, and zoom and you can easily do common things like bookmarking and have multiple tabs open.

The touch on your iOS device can act as a pointer on the Apple TV and it will be just as if you were using an Apple TV web browser.

If you have a Mac, it’s probably time to improve your setup! After seeing these beautiful Mac Setups you will for sure start changing yours.

3. Web For Apple TV App

This iOS app is also installed onto your Apple device like an iPhone or iPad and turns your phone into a fancy smart controller for your Apple TV.

Another app that lets you take over your TV, this one has more advanced gesture control and better support for the iPad.

With this app, it is easy to cast videos and web pages onto the big screen and use your phone as if it were a web browser for Apple TV.

An app that you can install from the Apple app store on your iPhone or iPad device.

You can use AirWeb for a smooth and frustration-free experience on the web via your Apple TV.

AirWeb will allow you to use your iPhone as the remote control and cast the browser to your Apple TV. As long as your Apple device supports AirPlay Mirroring, then you will have no problems using this app. Turning your TV into a web browser for Apple TV from your phone.

5. HDMI cable to mirror the screen

If you don’t mind using a cable or need faster response times, using the good old HDMI cable is still a way to get Safari (or any other web browser) into your TV without the need for the Apple TV.

In fact, it’s a way not only to get a web browser on your TV but also to mirror anything else you want from your device. From a movie to photos, email, etc. It will duplicate the screen of your device and show it on the TV.

Ideal when casting heavy files such as movies, where the WIFI connection might have trouble transmitting so much data in real-time.

If your external device doesn’t come with an HDMI connection, you can use USB-C to HDMI adapters.

6. Installing tvOSBrowser – An Open Sourced Project

Last but not least, if you are techy or brave enough to get into the dark waters of XCode, then you can give it a try to tvOSBrowser .

tvOSBrowser is an open-source project that allows you to run a basic web browser (using UIWebView) on your Apple TV.

You’ll have to run the project on your Mac and then stream it to your Apple TV (with or without cable), so it’s definitely not the best of the options, but it’s something to consider.

No. The official Google Chrome web browser cannot be used as an Apple TV web browser. This is because Apple does not want its users to install a web browser, the whole idea is to use the built-in casting features via AirPlay.

However, Google Chrome has its own Google Chromecast device which can be used to cast content to your TV and even use your big screen like an Apple TV web browser. You can cast from the Chrome web browser via your phone or computer.

The Chrome web browser has built-in support to cast content directly from a supporting device to the Apple TV.

If you want to cast content from your Mac computer, you might want to check the best web browsers for Mac .

At first, it may seem very confusing or weird as to why the Apple TV doesn’t have an official Apple TV web browser but once you understand the reason, it all makes sense.

A web browser is useful on the TV but the traditional TV remote is not intuitive and easy to navigate with, hence why Apple has refused to include an Apple TV web browser support and instead, focus on their AirPlay casting feature.

So, I hope this article clears up all the confusion and sets you in the right place with the 4 different methods you have, one of them should fit your needs.

Apple TV is one of the best media players out there with support for many games. However, Apple stripped off the support for Safari after Apple TV’s 3rd generation. Hence, you can’t install a web browser in the later updates.

While you can surf the web via AirPlay using your other Apple devices, not all websites and streaming apps support it. But there’s a way out! Thanks to ‘ jvanakker ‘ for developing a third-party web browser, you can still install a browser on your Apple TV. Let’s understand how to do it.

Note: Installing the tvOS browser on your Apple TV won’t void its warranty. However, it might require installing it (from scratch) from time to time due to Apple’s third-party developer policies.

Requirements to browse the web on Apple TV

How to install and surf the web on apple tv, how to use tvos web browser, other alternatives for surfing the web on apple tv.

Here are a few things you’ll need.

• A Mac and a USB-C to USB-C cable.
• An Apple Developer account. You can sign up for a free Apple Developer account on developer.apple.com/account .
• Xcode on your Mac.

After you’ve downloaded and installed Xcode on your Mac, you’re ready to install the tvOS browser on your Apple TV.

• Install Xcode from Mac’s App Store. Note : The setup file is around 5GB.
• Now, connect your Apple TV to your Mac via the USB-C cable and open Xcode.
• Visit github.com/jvanakker/tvOSBrowser on your Mac.

• Unzip the file on your Mac.

• A screen similar to this would appear. Now, change the Deployment Target to 14.0 .

• From the top-down menu, select your Apple TV as the Target Device, and click the ▶ button.

Wait for the process to finish. Now you have for yourself an Apple TV running a custom version of Apple’s Safari web browser.

The developer hasn’t updated the app for the latest Apple TV 4K with Siri Remote. So, there’s no way to use the ‘swivel’ control on this version of the tvOS browser. We’ll update this article when a new version for the latest Apple TV 4K is released. Though you can still use this version using the click buttons.

There are two modes with which you can control the browser. Double press the center of the touch area (center button in the newer version) to switch between scroll and cursor mode. A single tap on the touch area would reveal the Quick Menu in which you can input URLs, search Google, reload the page, or navigate back .

Double tapping the center area would reveal an advanced section wherein you can see your history, open favorite websites, clear cookies, and more. Remember to clear the tvOS browser’s cache from time to time to prevent it from slowing down.

If you don’t happen to have a Mac or are just unable to install Safari on your Apple TV, you can use the alternatives mentioned below. Using these will skip the fussy steps required and save you some time.

1. Use AirPlay

More often than not, the streaming website that you’re trying to cast to your Apple TV support Apple’s AirPlay. Check our guide on how to use AirPlay to cast videos to Apple TV from iPhone, iPad, and Mac .

2. Surf web on Apple TV via third-party applications

If you cannot AirPlay the content to your Apple TV, you can stream videos to your Apple TV via third-party apps on your phone. AirBrowser is one such app that allows you to cast websites to Apple TV.

Download the AirBrowser app from iOS App Store (it costs $4.99), click screen mirroring, and choose your Apple TV. You’ll now be able to cast almost any content from any website in the world.

3. Connect your laptop directly via HDMI

Last but not least, you can directly connect your Mac to your TV by using the HDMI cable and then streaming the content as you usually would. If your Mac doesn’t happen to have an HDMI port, check out some of the best USB-C to HDMI adapters for your Mac .

Standard dynamic range video content only.

Testing conducted by Apple in March and April 2024 using preproduction iPad Pro 11‑inch (M4) and iPad Pro 13‑inch (M4) units. Testing consisted of full battery discharge while performing each of the following tasks: video playback and internet browsing using Wi‑Fi or cellular data network (cellular models subscribed to LTE and 5G carrier networks). Video content was a repeated 2‑hour 23‑minute movie purchased from the iTunes Store. Internet over Wi‑Fi and cellular data network tests were conducted using dedicated web servers, browsing snapshot versions of 20 popular web pages. All settings were default except: Wi‑Fi was associated with a network (except for internet browsing over cellular data network); the Wi‑Fi feature Ask to Join Networks and Auto-Brightness were turned off; Brightness was set to 50%; and WPA2 encryption was enabled. Battery life depends on device settings, usage, network, and many other factors. Battery tests are conducted using specific iPad units; actual results may vary.

Wireless broadband recommended; fees may apply.

In China mainland, you can use Apple Pay on the web in Safari only on compatible iPhone and iPad models using iOS 11.2 or later.

Data accurate as of product launch.

Product recycled or renewable content is the mass of certified recycled material relative to the overall mass of the device, not including packaging or in‑box accessories.

We estimate the percentage of electricity-related emissions in our manufacturing that is sourced from clean electricity by attributing to our carbon model clean energy procured by our suppliers in the prior fiscal year, based on the supplier manufacturing allocations at time of product launch. Included in this number is only clean electricity that Apple or its suppliers have procured as part of Apple’s Supplier Clean Energy Program.

Carbon reductions are calculated against a baseline scenario: 1) No use of clean electricity for manufacturing or product use, beyond what is already available on the latest modeled grid (based on regional emissions factors). 2) Apple’s carbon intensity of key materials as of 2015 (our baseline year for our 2030 product carbon neutrality goal). Carbon intensity of materials reflects use of recycled content and production technology. 3) Apple’s average mix of transportation modes (air, rail, ocean, ground) by product line across three years (fiscal years 2017 to 2019) to best capture the baseline transportation emissions of our products.

ENERGY STAR and the ENERGY STAR mark are registered trademarks owned by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.

Based on retail packaging as shipped by Apple. Breakdown of U.S. retail packaging by weight. Adhesives, inks, and coatings are excluded from our calculations of plastic content and packaging weight.

Apple Regulated Substances Specification describes Apple’s restrictions on the use of certain chemical substances in materials in Apple products, accessories, manufacturing processes, and packaging used for shipping products to Apple’s end-customers. Restrictions are derived from international laws or directives, regulatory agencies, eco-label requirements, environmental standards, and Apple policies. Every Apple product is free of PVC and phthalates except for AC power cords in India, Thailand (for two-prong AC power cords), and South Korea, where we continue to seek government approval for our PVC and phthalates replacement. Apple products comply with the European Union Directive 2011/65/EU and its amendments, including exemptions for the use of lead such as high-temperature solder. Apple is working to phase out the use of these exempted substances for new products where technically possible.
