Apple screen mirroring, also known as AirPlay on iOS 11 or earlier, is a one-click method to share content from a MacOS or iOS device to a Zoom Room. This uses the AirPlay bonjour protocol to communicate between a Zoom client on MacOS/iOS and a Zoom Room. You can also use direct sharing, share.zoom.us, or wired HDMI video capture to share content from your laptop or mobile device to a Zoom Room.
