Key Takeaways

  • Turn your iPad into a second monitor with Sidecar for your Mac or use it as a dedicated external display for HDMI devices.
  • Make sure both your iPad and Mac run the required software and have the same Apple ID and two-factor authentication enabled. You can use Sidecar by hovering over the green circle in an app window or by selecting your iPad in the control center.
  • You can also use an app like Orion with an HDMI capture card in order to use your iPad as an external monitor for devices like gaming consoles or Apple TV.
