### What is AirPlay?

AirPlay is Apple's wireless protocol for streaming and sharing media like videos, photos, and music from Apple devices such as iPhone, iPad, and Mac to compatible devices like Apple TV, smart TVs, and speakers. It supports both audio and video streaming and allows screen mirroring to display your device's screen on a larger display.

In organizations, using an AirPlay Security profile ensures that streaming and mirroring content remains both safe and user-friendly. With AirPlay Security, you can manage who can connect to an Apple TV via AirPlay and tailor the authentication requirement to suit organizational needs.

### How does AirPlay Work?

AirPlay uses AES encryption to keep data safe as it travels between devices. Using an AirPlay Security Library Item in Iru Endpoint, you can limit AirPlay connections to devices on the same network and choose to set up a passcode or password for extra security.
