How to turn on airplay on a Vizio TV without a remote control
- Connect the two devices via screen mirroring. Make sure your Vizio TV and iOS device are connected to the same wireless network and that both devices are running updated software versions.
- Launch Control Center on your iPhone, then swipe up from the bottom to access AirPlay options under “Multitasking” (if it’s not there, you may need to scroll down). If you don’t have this option in your Control Center, head into Settings > Display & Brightness > View Available Devices > Screen Mirroring and turn it on.
- Select your Vizio TV from the list of available devices and tap “Continue.” You should see a code appear on both screens; enter that code using each device’s keyboard when prompted by one another’s screens (this is how they verify each other’s identity). Once verified, begin streaming content from one computer directly onto another (you can stream anything you want—movies, music files etc.).
