ForeverFamily Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 I am trying to figure out the best way to put what is on my iPad screen up on to our tv. My goal is to play a video on the iPad's internet browser (safari) and show it up on our tv so all my kids can see it. I want to possibly use mystery of science next year as well as the virtual instructor, but the most useful way to use these programs for us is to play the videos on our tv. Does anyone know if Apple TV will let you do this, basically does it let you show what is currently on your iPad screen up on to the tv. Does that make sense? Has anyone had success in doing what I am wanting to do? I know some apps like the roku app let you control roku from your iPad, but it doesn't let mirror your iPad screen. It just let's you play from the roku apps like Netflix, Hulu, YouTube, etc, but not the iPad's browser. Also as a bonus I would love to use my tv/iPad connection as a digital whiteboard, if I could mirror my actual iPad screen I am guessing this would be a possibility? Sorry everyone, I am tech savvy when it comes to software on a pc, not so much the actual hardware (that is my husband's department ;) ) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arctic Bunny Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 You can do airplay, and there are apps to use your iPad as a whiteboard. Good luck' 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alessandra Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 Yes, air play. I remember finding it confusing at first, but ds worked it out in about 1 second. Humiliating. The we used air play for all kinds of web things we waned to do together. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dudley Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 I don't know Apple TV but you can by a little dongle that plugs into your Ipad lighting plug and will accept an hdmi cable Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 The only thing we haven't been able to use with AirPlay are sports broadcasts. Verizon lets you have the NFL pass on your devices, and we've never been able to get it to let us push it to the TV. But everything else works great on AirPlay.

MarkT Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 I Chromecast my ESPN videos from the iPad (it would also work very well for YouTube videos). Apple products are usually more expensive for the same capability. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ForeverFamily Posted June 23, 2017 Author Share Posted June 23, 2017 Thank you everyone. I tried google to figure out if it was a possibilty to do what I wanted to do, but I couldn't find a clear answer. I knew if anyone would know it would be you guys. 😀 I am really excited, this will be so useful for us!!! Thank you! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
