AirPlay mirroring device policy

The Apple AirPlay feature allows users to mirror exactly what’s on a device display to another Mac computer.

You can add a device policy in XenMobile to add specific AirPlay devices (such as another Mac computer) to iOS devices. You also have the option of adding devices to an allow list for supervised devices, which limits users to only the AirPlay devices on the allow list. For information about placing a device into Supervised mode, seeTo place an iOS device in Supervised mode by using the Apple Configurator.

Note:

Before proceeding, be sure to have the device IDs and any passwords for all the devices you want to add.

To add or configure this policy, go toConfigure > Device Policies. For more information, seeDevice policies.
