Thanks, But i can't see the airplay receiver setting in sharing.

It may be that since your machine does not meet the minimum requirements, it does not support being an AirPlay Receiver at all.

It's hard to tell exactly what Apple meant by "works best with" – but Macs had the ability to use AirPlay to stream video to AppleTV set-top boxes long before AirPlay to Mac came on the scene. Maybe they mean that a Mac that doesn't meet the requirements might still be able to be an AirPlay transmitter, albeit with reduced quality.

Your Mac does not meet the recommended requirements for airplay to Mac

AirPlay to Mac works best with these devices and operating systems.

• MacBook Air introduced in 2018 or later

But that does not mean you cannot use it:

You can AirPlay to Mac at a lower video resolution from older iPhone, iPad, and Mac models and operating systems if the supported Mac has the AirPlay Receiver setting in Sharing settings configured to allow AirPlay for either Everyone or “Anyone on the same network”.

You must configure the MacBook to be an airplay receiver first, see this on how to do that

1. On your Mac, choose Apple menu  > System Preferences, then click Sharing .
2. Select the AirPlay Receiver checkbox in the service list on the left.
3. Select which devices can use AirPlay to stream content to this Mac.

• • Current user: Only devices signed in to your Apple ID can see and use AirPlay to stream content to this Mac.
  • Anyone on the same network: Any nearby Mac, iPhone or iPad on the same network can see and use AirPlay to stream content to this Mac.
  • Everyone: Any Mac, iPhone or iPad can see and use AirPlay to stream content to this Mac.

1. Select the “Require password” tickbox, then type the password in the text field.

Hope this works for you! Best of luck
