iPad Air Airplay youtube from mac to ipad?

[pierre1610]

Is it possible to use the ipad as a second screen to a mac to airplay video from youtube?
I'm trying to used a 1st gen iPad Air and a 2013 Mac Pro so can't use sidecar.

Any ideas what might work?

Thanks

Have you tried out Sidecar already?

Sidecar doesn't work on a 2013 Mac Pro, its also a 1st gen ipad not on the requirements sheet

Have you tried using Duet?

Have you tried using Duet?

No i haven't i need it to run wirelessly, duet seems expensive considering all i want to do is watch youtube on the ipad. I've read it has latency issues as well. Have you tried it?

Why not watch YouTube natively on the iPad browser or via an app?

No, I haven’t tried it. I was just giving you a suggestion. You could always try and see if it works, if it’s not up to your standards... get a refund.

That seems like a fair question. I’m not trying to speak for the OP, but I gotta idea... they want to use the Mac exclusively and not rely on juggling both the iPad and Mac.

I want the control to be through the mac and also the sound to come out the speakers

I use Duet on my Windows laptop with a gen 2 ipad Pro when I'm in need of a second screen away from home or office. Works ok wirelessly for work but there's obviously latency that can be seen when watching video. Framerate also suffers as well. I wouldn't recommend it wirelessly for the use case you're wanting with the older hardware that you have. Wired works better for sure and doesn't require the pro upgrade that wireless does.
