Get started

Make sure that your devices meet the requirements for using AirPlay. To stream audio to multiple speakers with AirPlay 2, simply select multiple AirPlay 2-compatible speakers or smart TVs.

Stream audio from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch with AirPlay

Play music on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, then control where it's playing from Control Center:

Can't play Spotify. If you have any issues with the app, these steps can fix it: Restart the Spotify app. Log out and back in. Make sure the app is up-to-date. Check it’s not in Offline mode in settings. Close any other apps you’re not using. Reinstall the app. Check @SpotifyStatus for any ongoing issues. Spotify usually works great for me, but recently it has been playing songs with no sound actually coming out. (song bar dot moves along with song even though no sound is actually playing.) I have tried deleting the application and reinstalling, and have searched through a ton of forums addressing this question, although none of them address.

  1. Open Control Center:
    • On iPhone X or later or iPad with iPadOS or later: Swipe down from the upper-right corner of the screen.
    • On iPhone 8 or earlier or iOS 11 or earlier: Swipe up from the bottom edge of the screen.
  2. Press and hold the audio card in the upper-right corner, then tap Airplay .
  3. Tap each speaker or TV that you want to play the current audio to.
