AirPlay mirroring device policy

The Apple AirPlay feature allows users to stream content wirelessly from an iOS device to a TV screen through Apple TV, or to mirror exactly what’s on a device display to a TV screen or another Mac computer.

You can add a device policy in Citrix Endpoint Management to add specific AirPlay devices (such as Apple TV or another Mac computer) to iOS devices. You also have the option of adding devices to an allow list for supervised devices, which limits users to only those AirPlay devices. For information about placing a device into Supervised mode, see Deploy devices using Apple Configurator 2.

Note:

Before proceeding, be sure to have the device IDs and any passwords for all the devices you want to add.

To add or configure this policy, go to Configure > Device Policies. For more information, see Device policies.
