If you own several Apple devices like I do, you probably depend on AirPlay to share your screen or display photos. Although I have an Apple TV, many other screens in my home don’t, so having AirPlay built-in is crucial. It wasn’t available on Sky Glass for a while, but now it is, thanks to a new update.
Now, you can easily send your favorite videos, music, or even those awkward holiday photos from your iPhone, iPad, or Mac directly to Sky Glass. Sky Glass aims to be an all-in-one TV for all your streaming needs, and with the addition of AirPlay support, it truly feels complete.
The built-in soundbar has always been a highlight, and now Sky has made it possible to use it independently. You can start a Spotify session or transform your living room into a mini theater to showcase your latest vacation pictures. This smart move is sure to make Sky Glass owners very happy.
There are also several other improvements worth mentioning. There’s a new skip ads button that lets you jump straight to the content you want, though it costs £5 a month, which might annoy some users. Binge-watchers will appreciate the new next episode button, which allows you to immediately continue with the next episode. You can now personalize playlists with fun character avatars, and Amazon Music subscribers can enjoy HD audio streaming.
These exciting new features are currently being rolled out on Sky Glass and Sky Stream. If you already own one of these devices, you’re all set. And if you’re undecided about getting Sky Glass, this update might just help you make up your mind.
