Intro to Apple AirPlay
If you're not up to speed on AirPlay, but you're too shy to ask your peers about it, here are a few things you should know.

Here are a few nuggets:
- You can only stream from a hand-held device to one AirPlay receiving device at a time. But with your computer, you can stream to multiple AirPlay receivers.
- Photo and video streaming are supported only via a second-generation Apple TV (version 4.1 or later). Even so, you can watch a movie on a PC and stream the audio via AirPlay to additional speakers.
- AirPlay prefers Wi-Fi, but it also supports Bluetooth. And, there’s no buffer-induced lag with Bluetooth.
- If for some reason, you don't see any AirPlay devices on your network (even though you own some), be sure to check "Settings" under iTunes Preferences to make sure you have AirPlay enabled (below).
