4. This will extend your MacBook Air’s display to your smart TV. You can now start using your MacBook Air to display content on your TV.
If you want to use your MacBook Air as a remote control for your smart TV, you can follow these additional steps:
1. On your MacBook Air, download and install the Google Home app from the App Store.
2. Open the Google Home app and sign in with your Google account.
3. Tap on the “+” icon in the bottom-right corner of the screen to add a device.
