Got a video on your iPhone you'd like to watch on a big screen? If you've got an Apple TV, it's really easy. This article explains how to stream content from your iPhone to an Apple TV. How Do I Stream to Apple TV?One of the benefits of having multiple Apple devices is they work together seamlessly. That's the case when you want to stream from an iPhone to Apple TV. To do this, you use an Apple technology called AirPlay, which is built into iOS and tvOS and is used by many apps. It's easiest if the app with the content you want to stream
supports AirPlay. Even if it doesn't, you can still show your content on the Apple TV.

Your viewing history and your Up Next queue automatically sync across all devices, so the Apple TV app is connected on all of your devices. This is mostly a case where Apple naming an app, streaming service, and hardware device all the same thing—Apple TV—is really confusing. Luckily, we've untangled the Apple TV naming for you. Can You Home Share From iPhone to Apple TV?Before all of your media was easily available on all of your devices, there was Home Sharing. It's an Apple feature that lets you access media from other devices on the same Wi-Fi network. For example, if someone in your house makes their music available via Home Sharing, you can listen to their library on your Mac or iPhone. The iPhone and Apple TV both support Home Sharing, which lets you send music and videos to an Apple TV. This is less useful than AirPlay in most cases, but it's worth knowing about. Here's what to do:
