Putting up with streaming on a small screen is lagging behind thanks to screen mirroring technologies. Instead of straining your eyes watching your favorite TV shows on your smartphone, you can enjoy a wider screen on your smart TV. Now, you can cast or mirror videos from your iPhone, iPad, or MacBook to your Samsung smart TV using Apple AirPlay.
It is easy to use AirPlay screen casting or mirroring. All you have to do is play the movie or TV series episode that you want to watch and select AirPlay to move the phone screen to your Samsung smart TV. Samsung supports AirPlay and AirPlay 2.
Still, casting may not always come in perfect packages. You may sometimes encounter technical issues along the way that may prevent you from streaming your TV shows. It may be frustrating, but it happens to many users. AirPlay that won’t connect or show up on Samsung TVs is a very common issue.
So, while it disrupts your viewing pleasure, still there are some ways you can do to fix the problem.

Check your Internet Connection
Sometimes, the problem occurs because you have a poor network signal. Perform a speed test to check if it is an issue with your network or not. You also have to make sure that you connect both devices to the same Internet connection otherwise, it will not work.
If your WiFi Internet signal is not good, try to improve it by bypassing the router and connecting directly to the modem. You may also try to move your router near your devices and move anything that blocks the signal. Power cycling your device also helps. To do this, you need to turn off and unplug all devices, including your modem and router. Wait for at least 1 minute before connecting them again.
