For instance if you a teacher, you may want to show contents to your class with your portable device of choice. When holding a meeting in the office, you'd like to get the freedom to direct your presentations. Or if you are watching movies, playing games, it is also a good idea to mirror it to a widescreen TV so that to enjoy them together with the entire families or friends.

Part 2. Cast iTunes M4V Movies with AirServer from IOS Devices

The instruction for IOS 6/7/8/9/10/11 is more or less the same, I will take the latest IOS 11 for example.

1. Install AirServer. Just download and install the AirServer package from the official website, you can install it on Windows, Mac, Linux etc.

2. Connect to the same network. Turn on your IOS device and the device with the AirServer installed and make sure they are connected to the same networks like Wifi. If the IOS device is in a different network, then you can install the AirServer Connect to your IOS to help.

3. Connect IOS to the AirServer. Swipe up from the bottom of your iPhone/iPad/iPod to access the Control Center. It should prompt you the option 'AirPlay Mirroring', you can tap it and then choose the destination mirroring device you want.

4. Start playing iTunes videos. You might play the iTunes movies, TV shows, Extras or any other movies. Your videos will be cast to the big screen instantly without any lag.

Note: Currently AirServer only supports to stream purchased movies, it still doesn't support to stream rental content over AirPlay on IOS. In addition, since iTunes films are not playable on non-Apple devices, so you can't stream iTunes movies from mobile phones with Windows/Android or any other systems directly.

Part 3. Stream DRM Protected Movies to AirServer from Any Devices

AirServer provides an easy way for other non-Apple portable devices including Android, Windows, Linux to connect easily too and the steps are similar to connect an IOS device. The difference is that when using Android or Windows devices, you are connecting through the Google Cast or Miracast feature. For some Android device which don't support Google Cast, you don't need to worry either as you just need to install the AirServer connect, which can add the mirroring feature to your Android device.
