AirPlay from iPhone to Mac

[adrianlondon]

I have Airplay working from my phone to my laptop.

I have a question for those of you with external monitors (in extended display mode). Unfortunately, I don't have one.

I plan to give a demo with an external display running the presentation, and the internal display in presenter mode. If I airplay my phone to the laptop, which display will it pick? I'm hoping the external one, but I suspect it'll just pick the internal one. If so, can it be switched to the external one?

I did see a youtube video where there was a button to left (on the laptop) once the connection had been made which seemed like it could be used to move the casted phone screen to another monitor, but I can't find it again.

Ah, I found the video. I assume, as he didn't demo it, it does what it should and switches the airplay'd phone screen to the external monitor.

Did the presentation today.

Using Powerpoint (oh well, that's what happens when I have to collabirate), and when it came time to share my phone screen, it worked perfectly and took over the screen/projector showing the presentation rather than the laptop screen (which went blank, but I knew that's how this new Airplay feature worked).
