Screen mirroring on Apple devices, also known as AirPlay or AirPlay on iOS 11 or earlier, is an easy and convenient way for users of MacOS and iOS devices to share content from their devices to Zoom Rooms. There are two modes of communication between a Zoom client on MacOS/iOS and a Zoom Room, and these are achieved through the AirPlay bonjour protocol. The Zoom Room can also be shared from your laptop or mobile device via direct sharing, the share.zoom.us website, or wired HDMI video capture if you have a Zoom Web cam.
