Screen Mirroring freezes from MacBook Pro to iPad Pro

I have a newer MacBook Pro (13-inch, M1, 2020 with current update of Monterey 12.5.1) and an iPad Pro (12.9-inch, 5th generation with current update of 15.6.1). I often use the iPad as a second screen while at school but recently, the screen mirroring freezes. I am still able to use the iPad normally and the only way I have found to correct the issue is disconnecting and then reconnecting the screen share. That solution is really only a bandaid as it lasts for just a few minutes before freezing again. Is there a fix for this issue?

Thank you in advance!

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 12.5

Hi AmaDragon,

We're happy to see if we can help with this. So, you mentioned you're using it in a certain location when this happens, correct? Just curious to see if this is the only location that the issue happens in, as that may indicate an issue with the Wi-Fi network, or devices nearby that may be causing interference. Also, if either device locks or sleeps while using AirPlay to screen mirror, that can cause an issue as well. We've included a link to a list of devices that can cause interference for you below.

If the issue is happening in other locations, or on other Wi-Fi connections as well, we recommend reaching out to Apple Support directly for additional troubleshooting.
