iPhone:any video to Apple TV?

[Zmmyt]

Hi everyone,

Let’s say I’m streaming some movie via Safari, could I use Airplay to watch it on the big screen?

Thanks in advance.

Yes if stream is QuickTime-friendly (H.264 or H.265 encoded video only).

I do it all the time. I just moved from an iPhone 6+ to an X. I decided to keep the old 6+ next to the remotes just to airplay Safari pages to the big screen. Also Amazon video until and if they ever release the ATV app.

I think an app developer can intentionally block it from being airplayed. For example, I wondered what the map from the Garmin StreetPilot app would like like on a big screen, but when I tried I got a message saying Airplay was not allowed due to licensing reasons (or something like that).

What a great idea for my old 6+!!!!
