The XGIMI MoGo 2 Pro has a smart Android operating system and can therefore be used without additional hardware, just like the manufacturer’s larger models (see: XGIMI Aura). However, if content is to be played from a second device without a cable, Apple users seem to face a problem at first:
While digital casts on the Android interface of the XGIMI projector are unsurprisingly possible without any problems, there is no AirPlay connection for iPhones and other Apple devices. The XGIMI MoGo 2 Pro is simply not displayed as a target device in the iOS and OSX selection.
Fortunately, it is easily possible to retrofit the missing AirPlay compatibility without any additional hardware. SamaGame explains step by step how to make the XGIMI projector AirPlay compatible:
This is how you retrofit AirPlay on the MoGo 2 Pro
- 1
Start your projector and open the right option “Apps” in the top menu on the Android interface.
- 2
Now scroll down to the end of the app selection.
- 3
Click on the button that leads to the Google Play Store.
- 4
Click in the search window to search for an app.
- 5
Enter “magicast” in the search bar using the on-screen keyboard.
- 6
Once the application with the red logo is found, click “Install”.
- 7
Once the app is installed, you have to look for it in the app selection and open it.
- 8th
Now you will be redirected to the settings to allow screen mirroring.
- 9
Look for the switch for MagiCast and activate it with one click on the remote control.
- 10
Now make sure that your Apple device and the XGIMI projector are in the same WLAN network.
- 11
Now the XGIMI MoGo 2 Pro is displayed as the receiving device in the AirPlay menu for screen synchronization. You can also activate AirPlay directly via the buttons in streaming apps (here: the non-native Rakuten Viki service) and redirect your streams to the XGIMI MoGo 2 Pro.
