# How do I use AirPlay on my iPad or iPhone?

You can use AirPlay to watch STV Player shows from your iOS device on a TV via your Apple TV or Smart TV if it supports AirPlay\*.

 

Make sure your device and Apple TV / Smart TV are on the same WiFi network.

 

The AirPlay icon will appear below the playback bar if the stream you are on supports AirPlay - tap this icon to activate AirPlay.

 

Select the device you want to play to.

 

For some older iOS versions, you may need to activate AirPlay from the Control Centre on your device - swiping up to display this on your device.

 

On which streams can I use AirPlay?

 

AirPlay is available to all STV Player users when viewing the Live TV streams, On Demand and Box Sets.

 

Other options:

 

If you have an Apple TV device you can install the Apple TV app instead and use this to watch both the Live and On-Demand streams.
