macOS Monterey – Mirror iPad Screen on Mac in Separate Window

airplayipadquicktimewifi

It seems that now it is possible to mirror an iPad/iPhone screen on your mac over wifi connection. However, if you do this, you cannot do anything esle on your mac, just watch the screen. My question is whether it is possible to mirror the screen in a separate window.

Up until now, I did it by connecting iPad through a cable, opening QuickTime player, selecting New movie recording, and selecting iPad. This did the job. The advantage is that I can share screen of my mac in an online conference and I can show my iPad screen next to something else. I thought that now it will be possible to do this wirelessly.

Am I just not seeing something or is it still not possible with Monterey?

As of 12.0.1 macOS Monterey only supports receiving AirPlay video fullscreen (and oddly enough, it also turns every other screen that is connected black).

If you want to receive AirPlay video in a window there is 3rd party software to accomplish this (LonelyScreen, AirServer, Reflector, ...)
