How to Enable and Use Kodi Airplay [Easy Guide]
Airplay is a feature specially designed for Apple devices to mirror media files from an Apple device to AirPlay-supported devices. The latest version of the Kodi app is designed with the AirPlay option. By enabling this feature, the Kodi-installed PC acts as a receiver and displays the media content on your PC mirrored from the iPhone / iPad. This procedure doesn’t require the installation of any Kodi add-ons. In this article, I have covered the steps to enable and use AirPlay on Kodi.
Note: You can AirPlay audio, video, and pictures to a Kodi-installed device if you use iOS 8.0 or older models. If you use iOS 9.0 or newer, you can only AirPlay audio. Also, note that Kodi does not support AirPlay mirroring.
