Is there a way to share music videos from Mac to iPhone without syncing?

I like to listen to music on my iPhone, that is shared from my Mac music library as the Mac obviously has more storage space than the iPhone. Is there any way to share music videos this way?

Thank you for your reply. Wondering which method you are using already to listen to Music but not music videos, and where your music videos are stored.

Ummm.. did the Home Sharing article not help at all ?


Use Home Sharing to share media from a computer to other devices - Apple Support

Eg: says:

"Use Home Sharing on your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch

To use Home Sharing to access your computer's media library on your iPhone, iPad and iPod touch, sign in to Home Sharing on your device:

  1. To see a music library, go to Settings > Music. To see a video library, go to Settings > TV > iTunes Videos.
  2. Under Home Sharing, tap Sign In.
  3. Sign in with your Apple ID. Use the same Apple ID for every computer or device on your Home Sharing network.


After you sign in, connect your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch to the same Wi-Fi network as your computer, and open the Music app, Apple TV app or iTunes for Windows on your computer.


See shared music

  1. Open the Music app and tap Library.
  2. Tap Home Sharing. Don't see it? Tap Edit, select Home Sharing, then tap Done.
  3. Choose a shared library.


See shared videos

  1. Open the TV app.
  2. Tap Library.
  3. Choose a shared library."

Apple Support's article (link below) may help:

Use Home Sharing to share media from a computer to other devices - Apple Support

Eg: says:

"With Home Sharing, you can share, stream, and import media from up to five computers that are connected to your home Wi-Fi network."


Apple Support's video below shows (at 2:01)

how you can use AirDrop to transfer any video files from your iPhone to Mac
