iPad screen sharing via Airplay still not working

Posting this as an update to an apparent ongoing issue. Other threads are from last year or marked as "solved".

 

I am using fully updated MacOS Sonoma on an M3 MacBookPro and fully updated iOS 17 on an iPadPro. MacBook and iPad are on the same sub-net with the same router: screen sharing invoked by selecting "iPad via AirPlay" (i.e. wireless connection) does not work. I do not see the "Zoom" option in the iPad Screen Mirroring options (well I actually saw it once or twice briefly but it promptly disappeared). Strangely, if I connect via a USB-C cable it does work and the Zoom option is available as a mirroring selection. If I disconnect the cable while sharing the screen, I see a static image of the iPad (but no error from Zoom), indicating that it is using the wired connection. Screen sharing in Zoom also works if I select "iPad via cable".

Following previous posts on this forum I have Stage Manager disabled and the AirPlay Receiver option was never enabled.

I am not sure when this stopped working (I made the leap from Mojave to Sonoma) but I used it often in the past.

It is now working for me. There was an iPadOS update, to 17.4, and a Zoom update, to 5.17.11.31580. One or both did the trick.

Update: Back to not working. Same symptoms as above. Fully updated MacOS Sonoma, iPadOS, and Zoom Workplace. Sharing via cable works (less desirable). Maybe this is why the screen sharing option is now hidden in the "advanced" tab. This just doesn't seem to be something Zoom can nail.

Hi, I’m having an issue with screen sharing in Zoom using AirPlay from my iPad to my Mac.

The iPad successfully connects to my Mac via AirPlay, and I can see the iPad screen normally on my Mac. However, when I share that AirPlay screen/window through Zoom, other meeting participants can see that I have started screen sharing, but they cannot see the actual iPad screen.

I also tested sharing the iPad directly through a USB cable, and that works correctly. So the issue seems to be specifically with Zoom capturing the AirPlay screen on the Mac.

Could you please help me troubleshoot this?
