Have you ever wanted to watch a movie on your TV, but lacked an easy way to do so? Macs feature a built-in TV tuner. While it’s not necessary for connecting to your TV—since newer MacBook have HDMI ports and MacBook Air models can connect with Apple TV or an Apple display—it’s definitely handy if you prefer watching movies on your computer. This article explains how to connect your MacBook computer to your TV.
The Steps To Connect Your MacBook To Your TV with Apple TV
The best way to connect your MacBook to your TV is by using AirPlay and Apple TV. It is one of Apple’s most popular features, and it allows you to stream video from apps directly onto your television screen. If you have an Apple TV connected to your TV, connect it to your MacBook with AirPlay and begin streaming.
- First, Navigate To Your System Preference and click on Display
- At the bottom of your screen, click on the dropdown option to select AirPlay Display.
- Now you have the option to choose whatever device you want to connect to your MacBook. In this case, it should be your Smart TV.
- As soon as your device recognizes your smart TV, you may see a prompt. Select Gather Windows on your MacBook screen if you would like to extend your Mac display onto your TV. That way, you can use your TV as a second monitor.
- To mirror your MacBook screen to your smart TV, set up your Display Settings so the Mirror Display is selected.
And that’s it. Your MacBook should now be connected to your TV through Airplay with Apple TV.

You can also connect your MacBook to your TV through a plug
In some cases, you might not be able to connect your MacBook to your TV through Airplay. This can be because you have an older television that lacks AirPlay capability or an older MacBook with only HDMI input.
In that case, you can use a wired connection. Depending on your model, the right type of cable will either be a DVI to HDMI adapter or a Mini DisplayPort to HDMI adapter.
As an alternative, you may need to make a choice about whether to plug your MacBook directly into your TV, for example, by using a Thunderbolt to HDMI cable. Or, you may want to use an adapter that attaches to your MacBook and provides the correct ports, for example, a Thunderbolt adapter that accepts HDMI or DVI cables.
Make sure to change your settings on your PC or TV. Go to the Settings > Display screen and make sure you adjust your settings for your display settings and resolution.
The benefit of setting up a wired connection to your TV is that, once it’s all connected, you can shut your laptop, plug a wireless keyboard and mouse into it, and use the TV as your computer monitor.
FAQ
How long do AirPods last outside of case?
Both the AirPods and AirPods Pro last around 4 – 5 hours if you’re listening to stuff, and last around 2 – 4 hours if you’re both listening and talking to someone. This estimation is based on a full charge.
How many years do AirPods last?
If you’re a heavy AirPods user (meaning that you use your AirPods daily all day long) then you can expect them to last for about two year. You obviously will be able to use them after these two years, but their battery will be reduced in quality, so much so that they might last just one hour on a full charge.
Do Your AirPods have GPS?
The answer is no, AirPods do not have GPS installed in them. On the “Find my iPhone” app, Apple shows you the last place your AirPods were in a short distance with another iOS device, such as your iPhone.
