What is "Airplay" on MacBook?
I'm new to MacBooks, firstly! I have a MacBook Air, and I noticed an icon on the top bar I haven't seen before which is a rectangle with a black triangle over it, when I click on it, it comes up with "AirPlay Mirroring:Off" blocked out, then it has someone's Macbook on it, "[Person's Name]'s MacBook Pro" and then "Open Displays Preferences..." I'm at my university library, and majority of the people own MacBooks. What does this all mean and how do I get rid of it?
How do I mirror a MacBook Air to (not smart) an HDTV without an Apple TV?
Get a mini display-to-HDMI adapter. There are adapters with a single HDMI port, but there are also multi-port variants, which you can use for other displays.There’s also USB to HDMI adapters. I have a USB to DVI adapter with HDMI and VGA connectors, which I have used on my 15″ MBP 2011 with a busted dGPU. It’s a bit slow, but it does the job for presentations at least. I haven’t tested it with videos yet.

Why is Mirroring (iOS or Mac desktop) on Apple TV slower than turning on Airplay for a supported app?
As explained at: How Apple AirPlay & AirPlay Mirroring works:When using internet sources for watching video (such as YouTube) or listening to music (such as Pandora, Spotify or any internet radio service) something else happens when using AirPlay. When streaming from an internet source and pressing the AirPlay button on your iOS device, your AirPlay-enabled music system or Apple TV box will open a direct connection to the internet source. The AirPlay receiver (for example Apple TV, AirPort Express, or systems with built-in AirPlay) is being authorized to access the internet source and no streaming occurs between the iOS device and the AirPlay receiver, thus no loss of quality. The video or music quality is as good as the streaming service allows.
