AirBeamTV Alternatives

AirBeamTV

Mirror your Mac screen to a Smart TV. No wires and no additional hardware needed! You can also stream individual video files or watch one window on your Mac, and another window on your TV!

In using the app, there will be a couple of seconds of latency (usually between 1-3). So it is not suitable for gaming.

However, it is very suitable for watching movies, giving presentations, watching photos, and much more!

The quality of your experience will be dependent on the quality of your local network. Some tips to enhance the experience:

- Preferably, connect your TV by LAN cable to your router.
- Use an "ac" router. If you don't have one, then an "n" router.
- Try not to overload your wifi network by moving big files around while you are mirroring.

How the app works:
Make sure that your Smart TV is on the same local network and same subnet as your Mac. The TV should not be in screen mirroring mode, but just on "TV" Mode or any HDMI IN port.

After launching the app, you will see the app icon appearing in the top bar of your Mac and the app will look for your TV on the network.

Mirror your Mac Screen:
Put the screen of your Mac on TV. In source, you can select which screen (or attached monitor) you want to display. If you are running multiple applications, you can also select which application window you want to see on TV.

Enable Sound: check this to hear the sound of your Mac coming from the TV. You will need the additional (free) audio driver, which you can download from the official website.

Play Video File:
Use it if you have a video file on your Mac and you want to play just the file on TV. Drop it in the box and it will play on TV.
