Create an AirPlay profile for iOS devices

AirPlay is a feature that lets you display photos or stream music and video to compatible AirPlay devices such as AppleTV, AirPort Express, or AirPlay enabled speakers.
With an AirPlay profile you can specify which AirPlay devices iOS and iPadOS users can connect to. The AirPlay profile has two options:
  • If your organization's AirPlay devices are password protected, you can specify device passwords for allowed destination devices so that iOS and iPadOS device users are able to connect without knowing the password.
  • For supervised devices, you can restrict which AirPlay devices users can connect to by specifying a list of allowed AirPlay devices for supervised devices. Supervised devices can connect only to the AirPlay devices specified in the list. If you don't create a list, supervised devices can connect to any AirPlay device.
  1. On the menu bar, click Policies and Profiles > Networks and connections > AirPlay.
  2. Click The Add icon.
  3. Type a name and description for the AirPlay profile.
  4. Click The Add icon in the Allowed destination devices section.
  5. In the Device name field, type the name of the AirPlay device you want to provide the password for. You can find the name of the AirPlay device in the device settings or you can look up the name of the device by tapping AirPlay in the Control Center of an iOS or iPadOS device to see a list of available AirPlay devices near you.
  6. In the Password field, type a password.
  7. Click Add.
  8. Click The Add icon in the Allowed destination devices for supervised devices section.
  9. In the Device ID field, type the device ID of the AirPlay device you want to allow supervised devices to connect to. You can find the device ID of the AirPlay device in the device settings. Supervised devices can connect only to AirPlay devices in the list.
  10. Click Add.
Assign the AirPlay profile to user accounts, user groups, or device groups.
