Hi great vid! But, dus this work with IOS 16?

[@Dj_Nizzo]

You have 25,820 unread emails...that’s too many unread emails.

[@aidan3389]

Can you do this with a normal bluetooth speaker or does it have to be a homepod

[@cjtathome]

Great video .... what is the oldest version of Apple TV that will support Airplay 2 ? Thinking of buying them used to retrofit my speakers ....

[@dylanmurphy7942]

What is the latency? Do you think that you could use HomePods as desk speakers for things like youtube?​

[@Theone-qb9hc]

some new version of this video for iPhone 13 to connect multiple Bluetooth speaker?

[@JamesDam]

I dont have a white checkmark next to my bluetooth devices how do I get that?

[@JulissaRamos-vl2qj]

I am have the same issue, have you gotten an answer?

[@sonysantana]

Do you need a strong wifi for the homekit?

[@jaime8729]

How do I remove bedroom from my phone. When I call out and want to select speaker it gives me the option for bedroom. Kind of annoying

[@barnacles1352]

Whats that tv app that looks like a webcam

[@winwithlove]

Considering using AirPod as center speaker for my AppleTV. Currently we have AppleTV connected to receiver with two speakers (L+R). With new TVOS update, is this possible?

[@iphonecreativity74]

Andrew. Why don’t we have airplay on a Mac with High Sierra

[@taquitogod9943]

Can i use airplay 2 with sony speakers? :/

[@jacksongeiselman6681]

Hi, here is a time capsule in early 2018, Please Comment a couple months after this has been posted, how many IPhones are there? Did Apple Stop Making Phones? What do you think of the IPhone X from what time you are at? Do You Have An Iphone SE 2?

[@MeshalReviews]

Cant wait for it ,, also we need automation for APTV and homepod in the home app

[@TheDanielShepherd]

I want to know the import bit. What is the buffering lag like when you press play on AP2 compared to AP1.
Find myself using AirPlay more and more at the minute but the lengthy 2-3 play lag doesn’t exactly make jumping through your music library fun!

[@eduardoig17]

Your no longer at idb?

[@akarpo]

@AppleInsider - any change the airport express shows up as an Airplay 2 device? (I doubt it, but I thought I'd ask)

[@LiveTheCity]

Can you stream different songs to different Apple TVs from 1 iPhone? On the iOS 11 site there's a picture of the airplay 2 menu, showing different songs streaming to different speakers and even another song on the phone itself.

[@AppleInsider]

Hi! Yes you can, but I don’t believe that is an AirPlay 2 thing. To do that, in Control Center, just tap the Apple TV you want to control, tap the music note/whatever is currently playing which will launch the Music app. Then choose your song. You can do this for each Apple TV!

[@LiveTheCity]

AppleInsider I think I meant something different. :D The question would be if you‘ll be able to do that with an AirPlay 2 speakers aswell. I‘ll tweet you the pic

[@cactustweeter2890]

I am so looking forward to Airplay 2.

[@keithdantonio680]

You said you have an Apple TV in your living room and one in your bedroom can someone be in your living room watching the Apple TV with two of the speakers and you be in the other room at the same time watching something different on the other Apple TV and sound coming through with those two pods in that respective room

[@HolyAngel578]

Please want iOS 14.51 dual connection

[@Rhcpbedders]

Ridiculous it’s taken this long for AirPlay 2 to come out. By the time it’s released it’ll be close to a year since it was announced.

[@perkpetersen9937]

Nice video 😀👍. Cheers from Denmark

[@CrystalMoonPower]

Is this also posible on iOS 14?

[@PUBG-lm1gb]

Bro living 2yra ago

[@camerongetz1278]

Can you use Alexa for dual speakers

[@erossalvador]

I can’t uncheck the circle....

[@MaximilianImaging]

Thank you for the best explanation on how to do multiple streams. 👍🏼

[@saza23]

@AppleInsider Hey, do you know any trick or App that can set the alarm/reminder every 24 hrs not regarding to the time on the clock? I have to take a medication every 24 hrs and it is very confusing how many hrs has passed by when I have to travel in different time zones and my phone clock is set to auto-adjust on local time.

[@danielb6182]

i know this is late, but i’d switch to a 24 hour clock, set automatic adjustments off so time doesn’t automatically change. then you can use timers and as you get more familiar with the time you can use alarms again

[@ElCapitanGames]

You also could just start a 24 hour “timer”.

[@saza23]

@@ElCapitanGames I've tried it and for some reason it doesn't work. Don't know why. :(

[@Rhcpbedders]

Tv-s? Thorough-put?

[@jensb1820]

Does anyone knows how to install tvos beta? 🙂

[@AppleInsider]

Depends on if developer beta, or public beta. You can find info on the public beta here: beta.apple.com/sp/betaprogram/

[@pleezoe]

Can't wait

[@Johnny-jr2lq]

You can stream to multiple devices but you can’t Bluetooth 2 AirPods Pro’s at the same time to watch a movie.

[@nicholasdesanctis3710]

Nick. My. Ok.

[@b1walker]

Is Andrew putting on this voice? If so, it sounds stilted and douchey. If not...sorry I guess?

[@joshx413]

Benjamin Walker what are you talking about? Just trying to be degrading?
