Samsung today announced that it will launch AirPlay support for its line of hotel room TVs, allowing iPhone and iPad users to wirelessly stream video, music, photos and more from their device to their in-room TV.
The feature allows you to scan a unique QR code on your hotel room TV to establish an AirPlay connection, allowing you to wirelessly stream content from your iPhone or iPad. After the pairing process, your device will automatically connect to the hotel Wi-Fi network. Device must be updated to iOS 17.3 or iPadOS 17.3 or later.
AirPlay on TVs in hotel rooms works with apps and services like Apple Music, Apple TV+, Apple Arcade for games, Apple Fitness+ for workouts, and more.
Samsung said no personal information is ever stored or saved for this AirPlay feature, and the paired device is automatically removed when you leave the hotel.
Samsung hasn’t revealed which hotel chains will offer its TVs with AirPlay. The feature launched earlier this year on LG hotel room TVs at select IHG Hotels & Resorts properties in the US, Canada and Mexico, with more locations to follow.
Google has long offered a similar Chromecast streaming feature to many TVs in hotel rooms that works with both iPhones and Android devices.
