How Does AirPlay Work on Samsung TVs?

AirPlay is an Apple technology that lets you stream content wirelessly between Apple devices and AirPlay 2 supported TVs.

Many modern Samsung Smart TVs have built-in AirPlay 2 capability. This means you can directly AirPlay videos, music, photos, webpages, and more from your iPad to your Samsung TV without needing an Apple TV.

AirPlay creates a direct peer-to-peer connection over Wi-Fi between your iPad and Samsung TV. As long as both devices are on the same local network, you can use AirPlay to “mirror” your iPad’s display to your TV or stream media content.

Checking AirPlay Compatibility

To use AirPlay from an iPad to a Samsung TV, you need to ensure:

You have a Samsung Smart TV that supports AirPlay 2. Most models from 2018 onwards have AirPlay built-in.
Your iPad runs iOS 12.3 or later. This enables sending content with AirPlay 2.
Both devices are connected to the same wireless network.

To confirm your Samsung TV has AirPlay:

Go to Settings > General > Apple AirPlay Settings
Look for options to enable AirPlay and pairing passwords. This confirms your TV is compatible.

If you don’t see these options, your Samsung TV likely doesn’t support AirPlay. You would need an Apple TV to use AirPlay.

How to Set Up AirPlay on a Samsung Smart TV

Before AirPlaying content from your iPad, you need to enable AirPlay on your Samsung TV:

Turn on your Samsung TV and connect it to your Wi-Fi network.
Go to Settings > General > Apple AirPlay Settings
Set AirPlay to “On” to enable this feature.
Decide if you want to require a one-time pairing password when connecting a new device.

That’s it! Your Samsung TV is now ready to receive AirPlay content from your iPad.

How to Use AirPlay on iPad
