No Video or Sound when Using AirPlay

To send video or audio to an AirPlay device such as an Apple TV, iPad and the AirPlay device must be connected to the same wireless network. If you don't see the button, iPad isn’t connected to the same Wi-Fi network as an AirPlay device, or the app you’re using doesn’t support AirPlay.

ÂÂ When sound or video is being sent to an AirPlay device, iPad doesn’t display video or play audio. To direct the content to iPad and disconnect iPad from the AirPlay device, tap and select iPad in the list.

ÂÂ Some applications play only audio over AirPlay. If video isn't working, make sure that the app you're using supports both audio and video.

ÂÂ If the Apple TV has been set up to require a passcode, you must enter it on iPad when asked, in order to use AirPlay.

ÂÂ Make sure the speakers on the AirPlay device are turned on and turned up. If you’re using an Apple TV, make sure the TV’s input source is set to Apple TV. Make sure the volume control on iPad is turned up.

ÂÂ When iPad is streaming with AirPlay, it must remain connected to the Wi-Fi network. If you take iPad out of range, playback stops.

ÂÂ Depending on the speed of your network, it may take 30 seconds or more for playback to begin when using AirPlay.
