Screen Mirroring

Sometimes my Macbook does not show in the iPad's list of devices for screen mirroring. Both machines are connected to the same wifi network. I have restarted both machines.

MacBook Air 13", macOS 10.14

Screen mirroring requires an Apple TV or similar device.

Sidecar is now available, but that may go in the opposite direction to what you’re seeking.

No. I have previously accomplished this. I could use my iPad as a remote camera to share on the Mac, through Zoom. So I was feeding video from the iPad to the Mac, then having it show up as a shared screen in Zoom.

On the iPad's Screen Mirroring list I saw the Apple TV listed, and the Macbook. But today I cannot make the Macbook register to the iPad.

Odd, because I can successfully transfer Airdrop documents.
