Sorry, but I already have the mirror icon on the top menu. When I invoke screen mirror I should see in the pull down menu my smart TV's name, but it's not there. It use to work great when I had Catalina. How can I get Mirror to recognize my smart TV in that pull down menu?

The 3 most common reasons are:

  • TV and Mac not on the same Wifi network
  • Airplay not turned on in TV settings. You did say that it worked before, but there may have been a TV software update that changed the settings.
  • Try restarting Mac.


FYI, There did use to be an AirPlay icon for the menu bar, but it did get changed to Screen Mirroring. Do you possibly have an iPhone to see if you get the same results?
