When I am Skyping on my iPad, how can I get the picture on my TV?

Community Answer

Make sure bluetooth is connected on both devices and then something should come up prompting you connect with a device, saying the device name, and then you would click on the one you want.

Question

Will Apple TV work on Airplay?

Community Answer

Yes. Connect to the same Wi-Fi network on your iOS device and the device that you want to AirPlay to. On your iOS device, swipe up from the bottom of your screen to open Control Center. In Control Center, tap AirPlay Mirroring, then select your Apple TV from the list.
