Based on what? AirPlay mirroring is great today, and this is that with data in the other direction. Current Wifi is perfectly capable of bidirectional voice and video. Adding touch/key events is incremental.
- fragmede 2y agoYeah, I use my AppleTV As a monitor for my laptop all the time via Airplay mirroring and it's fine.
- Toutouxc 2y agoSame, I do this regularly when my wife’s using my desk, the latency is a bit like cloud gaming – it’s there for competitive Counter Strike, it isn’t there for coding or browsing.
- minimaxir 2y ago"Terrible" might be an exaggeration, but even in my personal uncongested network the feed can get randomly choppy from wireless AirPlay mirroring.
- ThomasBb 2y agoThat might be a sign of excessive congestion on the channel used for Airplay. Esp with device to device direct link, latency should be minimal. If you can, try moving nearby AP’s off the AirPlay channels for your region. For the US: “If possible, avoid using Wi-Fi channels 149 and 153 in rooms where peer-to-peer AirPlay is frequently in use”
- doublepg23 2y agoWow, that might be why AirPlay always gave me issues. I’ve been on channel 153 for 5GHz forever. Thanks!
