iPhone mirroring not working on Mac is a common issue, especially since Apple's official solution (AirPlay to Mac) can be finicky and requires specific hardware and software versions.
What about the OBS Studio with an iOS app? You use a free app on your iPhone that broadcasts your screen, and OBS (free, open-source software) on your Mac to receive and display it.
How to use:
- On your Mac: Download and install OBS Studio.
- On your iPhone: Download a free app that supports the "NDI" protocol, like NDI HX Camera (from NewTek) from the App Store.
- Ensure both devices are on the same Wi-Fi.
- Open the NDI app on your iPhone and start broadcasting.
- In OBS on your Mac, add a new "NDI™ Source" and select your iPhone from the list.
