Don’t get stuck watching videos or playing games on a small screen, you can use your iPhone or iPad on larger displays thar has screen mirroring methods instead. There are a few ways to watch iOS or iPadOS content on a Television, which includes AirPlay, Chromecast, and wired adapters.
The Apple TV connects to your TV via HDMI and functions as a set-top box with its own apps and App Store. It has other neat functions too, like displaying your recent iPhone photos and playing music from Apple Music.
If you want to AirPlay video from your iPhone to a computer display instead, you can do so with an app called AirServer, which costs around $20. You can also buy audio equipment compatible with AirPlay for streaming music.
When you use screen mirroring, an image appears on your TV that exactly matches your iPhone or iPad screen. It even shows up in the same aspect ratio as your device (such as 4:3 for an iPad), which often means the image doesn’t fill the entire TV screen.

Unlike screen mirroring, casting a video to your TV fills the entire screen. This is the best way to watch movies or view photos since they aren’t limited to the aspect ratio of your device.

You also need an app that allows you to cast a video to your computers, such as ApowerMirror or AirServer.
