AirPlay asking for code. Where do I find it?

Helpful NO

As usual Apple Help leaves me disappointed and more confused than before I asked the question.

The Apple still does not where or how to find the "Office TV Code" - please answer the question as if the individual is a beginner not an expert. Experts are not asking these questions.

• AirPlay may ask for a 4 digit pairing code when connecting for the first time. The code would be displayed on one device, to be copied to the other.
• AirPlay may ask for a password. That would be set on the Apple TV or other AirPlay receiving TV. Settings﹥AirPlay﹥Allow Access﹥Password﹥••••••

how to find the "Office TV Code"

I don’t know what that is. The discussion was about AirPlay and the Apple TV box.

please answer the question as if the individual is a beginner not an expert.

Please provide details, such as: Trying to AirPlay from device X (e.g. iPhone 11/iPad Air 3rd generation) to device Y (e.g. Apple TV 4K “A1842”). As a volunteer, I’d like to be specific, rather than covering all possibilities, of which many may not apply to your situation.

AirPlay system requirements - Apple Support

AirPlay to third party devices may be a bit different in setup.

Does it ask for a pairing PIN code or for a password?

You can check if a password is set, by going to Settings on the Apple TV, then to AirPlay, then to Allow Access. There will be a Require Password On|Off switch. If it is set to On, then there will also be a password field, that you can set to any password that you feel comfortable with. If it is set to Off, then devices would not be asked for a password, when trying to AirPlay to the Apple TV.
