Luckily, connecting your MacBook Pro or MacBook Air to your TV is easy. We'll walk you through a few simple steps. How to easily connect your MacBook to your TV

How to Wirelessly Connect a MacBook to a Smart TV

The easiest way to wirelessly connect a MacBook to a Smart TV is for both devices to have AirPlay, a feature that allows Apple gadgets to play on the device Share videos, images and music between. AirPlay-compatible TVs include Apple TV or any LG, Samsung, Sony, or Vizio TV manufactured in 2019 or later.

You can use AirPlay to turn your TV into a second monitor or stream your MacBook screen to a smart TV. That's it:

How to connect your MacBook to your TV using an HDMI cable

A simple and reliable way to connect your TV and MacBook is to use an HDMI cable. This cable carries audio and video signals between two devices. HDMI cables have the same ends on both ends, so it doesn't matter which end you plug into your TV or computer.

Follow these steps:

Plug one end of the HDMI cable into the HDMI output on your MacBook (if you have one). If your MacBook model only has USB-C ports, you may need to use a USB-C to HDMI cable. Plug the other end of the cable into one of the HDMI inputs on your TV. Using your TV remote, select the input that corresponds to the HDMI port into which the cable is plugged (HDMI 1, HDMI 2, HDMI 3, etc.)

If your Mac uses a video port that's not available on your TV (such as a Thunderbolt port or USB-C Thunderbolt 3 port), you can use an adapter to connect your MacBook Pro or MacBook Air to your TV.

Simply connect the HDMI cable to the adapter and plug the cable into the port. Now you're ready to enjoy all the benefits of the big screen.
