Play audio from iPad on HomePod and other wireless speakers
You can play audio from iPad on wireless devices like HomePod, Apple TV, AirPlay 2-enabled smart TVs, and Bluetooth headphones and speakers.
Play audio from iPad on a wireless device
On your iPad, open an audio app, such as Music, then choose an item to play.
Tap , then choose a playback destination.
Note: If your AirPlay 2-enabled devices don’t appear in the list of playback destinations, make sure they’re on the same Wi-Fi network. With a Bluetooth device, the playback destination returns to iPad if you move the device out of Bluetooth range.
To change the playback destination, you can also tap on the Lock Screen or in Control Center.
Note: For information about setting up a Bluetooth audio device, see Pair a Bluetooth device.
Play audio on multiple AirPlay 2-enabled devices
With AirPlay 2 and iPad, you can play audio on multiple AirPlay 2-enabled devices connected to the same Wi-Fi network. For example, you can play a party playlist on HomePod speakers in the living room and kitchen, on an Apple TV in the bedroom, and on an AirPlay 2-enabled smart TV in the den.
Ask Siri. Say something like:
“Stop playing music everywhere”
“Set the dining room volume to 10 percent”
“What’s playing in the kitchen?”
“Play a song I like in the kitchen”
“Add the living room speaker”
“Remove the music from the kitchen”
“Move the music to the den”
You can also choose playback destinations from the iPad screen.
Tap in Control Center, on the Lock Screen, or in the Now Playing controls for the app you’re listening to.
Select each device you want to use.
Note: Devices arranged in a stereo pair are treated as a single audio device.
To learn more about using HomePod speakers and Apple TV, see the HomePod User Guide and Apple TV User Guide.
For a list of AirPlay 2-enabled smart TVs, see the Home accessories website.
