What is AirPlay?¶
AirPlay is Apple's wireless streaming technology that allows Apple devices to transmit content to AirPlay-enabled receivers such as speakers, AV receivers, stereo systems, and TVs.
The EZCast Pro Dongle II enables up to four macOS and iOS devices to share content simultaneously on a split screen via the AirPlay protocol without requiring an app.

Enable AirPlay¶
AirPlay is enabled by default on EZCast Pro II devices. If you need to re-enable this feature, you'll find the AirPlay option under Advanced Settings:

AirPlay on iOS¶
To mirror your iOS screen, connect your device either to the EZCast Pro device's SSID or to the same Wi-Fi/LAN infrastructure the EZCast Pro device is connected to:
On your iOS device, swipe up from the bottom edge to open Control Center.
In Control Center, tap Screen Mirroring, then select the EZCast Pro Dongle II.
Note
If the EZCast Pro receiver isn't visible under AirPlay, ensure your iOS device is on the same network as the EZCast Pro device. AWDL (Apple Wireless Direct Link) is Apple's proprietary mesh networking protocol that allows Apple devices to create ad-hoc peer-to-peer mesh networks in close proximity. This protocol is not used for EZCast Pro devices.
To stop AirPlay mirroring from your iOS device, tap Screen Mirroring in Control Center again, then select Stop Mirroring.
AirPlay on macOS¶
To mirror your macOS screen, connect your device either to the EZCast Pro device's SSID or to the same Wi-Fi/LAN infrastructure the EZCast Pro device is connected to:
In the menu bar, click the AirPlay icon 
at the top of the screen.
Select the desired EZCast Pro device from the list. If it doesn't appear, ensure your Mac is connected to the same network as the EZCast Pro device.
Enable Video Streaming¶
Want to stream an internet video from your iPad (4:3 aspect ratio) to a 16:9 Full HD screen without stuttering or black bars? For the best video streaming experience, we recommend enabling the Mirroring + Video Streaming function:
- This function can be found under Device Management -> AirPlay Mode:
Requirements
The Mirroring + Video Streaming function requires firmware version 1.13781.68 or higher. When the homepage appears, check if the minimum required version is displayed as shown below. If needed, please update your firmware.
Note
Enabling the Mirroring + Video Streaming function takes effect after restarting the EZCast Pro device.
To stream a video in full screen to the large display, simply use the Screen Mirroring function of AirPlay. When you select "Full Screen" in the video player, the EZCast Pro device switches to full screen mode. The device shows "Connected via AirPlay" and the video streams in full screen to the large display:
Without enabling the Mirroring + Video Streaming function, the iPad screen is simply mirrored. Black bars will be visible and the transmission may stutter:
Note
The YouTube app on iOS doesn't support split screen and cannot stream content while another device is mirroring. If you want to support simultaneous streaming (split screen with up to 4 devices), the video must be played in a web browser like Safari or Google Chrome.
