Sharing your iPad screen during a GoBrunch session is a great way to enhance presentations, demonstrations, and workshops. In this guide, we’ll walk you through how to use Reflector on a Mac to wirelessly mirror your iPad screen and share it in a GoBrunch room.

What You’ll Need

Before we get started, here’s what you’ll need:

  • A Mac computer
  • An iPad with AirPlay support
  • Reflector app installed on your Mac
  • A stable Wi-Fi connection (both devices should be on the same network)
  • Access to a GoBrunch room

Now, let’s dive into the steps!

Step 1: Download and Install Reflector on Your Mac

  1. Visit the Reflector website and download the app for macOS.
  2. Once downloaded, follow the installation prompts to set it up on your Mac.
  3. Open Reflector after installation. You’ll now be ready to mirror your iPad screen.

Step 2: Connect Your iPad to Reflector

  1. On your iPad, swipe down from the top-right corner to open the Control Center.
  2. Tap the Screen Mirroring icon (it looks like two rectangles on top of each other).
  3. You’ll see a list of available devices. Select your Mac (which should appear as an option thanks to Reflector being open).
  4. Your iPad screen should now be mirrored to your Mac.

Step 3: Share the Mirrored Screen in GoBrunch

Now that your iPad is mirrored to your Mac, here’s how to share it in a GoBrunch room:

  1. Join your GoBrunch room on your Mac.
  2. Inside the room, look for the Share Screen button at the bottom of the screen and click on it.
  3. A pop-up will appear, showing available windows or screens to share. Select the window that’s showing the mirrored iPad screen.
  4. Click Share to begin broadcasting your iPad screen to all participants in the room.

Step 4: Control and Stop Screen Sharing

During your session, you can easily manage what you’re sharing:

  1. Switch between apps on your iPad as needed, and the changes will reflect in real-time for your GoBrunch audience.
  2. If you want to stop sharing, simply click the Stop Sharing button in GoBrunch.

To stop mirroring your iPad to Reflector:

  • Open the Control Center on your iPad again, tap Screen Mirroring, and select Stop Mirroring.

Troubleshooting Tips

  • Ensure both your Mac and iPad are connected to the same Wi-Fi network to avoid connectivity issues.
  • If the screen mirroring lags, check your Wi-Fi strength or reduce the number of devices on the network.
  • If Reflector isn’t showing your iPad, try restarting the app or rebooting your devices.
