I don't know what Mac you're using (might not be so feasible with a desktop) but AirPlay has in my experience always had some latency and picture quality drop associated with it (same goes with the Chromecast and other wireless display technologies I've tried in the past) and just using an HDMI cable should give you a speedy, high-quality output. Then there is the tried-and-trusted option of just taking a video cable and connecting your Mac that way. The second is AirParrot ($15), which allows you to mirror content as usual, but it also allows you to have the TV act as a second monitor or to beam over a single app (so you can send any single app over, like QuickTime or a web browser). The first is Beamer ($15), which can take video files and send them over to the TV. First of all, I have not personally tried these methods, so keep that in mind. There is some third-party software available for sending content via AirPlay, as well. There should be an AirPlay icon at the top of the window to send music and movies to your TV. As far as the in-app method goes, the only app that supports that is iTunes. The first is the Mirroring method, found, as you mentioned, in the Menu Bar on OS X and in the Control Centre on iOS. There are two ways to send content via AirPlay from your Mac to your Apple TV when it comes out of the box. Is there any way to do it? The best would be to find a solution that would work for videos on the Internet and for saved video files. I would like to read only the video, like I do with my iPad/iPhone, to avoid this sound/picture offset. It is always in the menu bar (top left part of the screen), where it only allows me to to mirror my screen. Reading only the video is done with a little icon that appears on the bottom right of the video player, like this one :īut on my mac, the icon does not appear when I try to read a video.Airplay Mirroring is done through the control center.I managed to use both of these options with my iPhone/iPad : The second one is to use the built in option to read only the video, and not to mirror the whole screen.

There is two ways of doing it: the first one is Airplay Mirroring, but this does not work well enough, since there is a lag between the sound and the video. I have an Apple TV with which I'd like to read videos from my mac, both from Internet (Youtube for example) and from files stored on my hard drive.
