Mirroring a Mac’s display on an Apple Vision Pro
Apple has publicly released visionOS 2.2 for the Apple Vision Pro, bringing small but significant changes including support for a wider Mac display.
Following months of beta testing, visionOS 2.2, build number 22N842, is now the official current release and is rolling out worldwide. While not as marked a release for new features as visionOS 2 in September 2024, it brings more than the stability and bug fixes of visionOS 2.1.
Specifically, users who connect a Mac to Apple Vision Pro can now opt to have the virtual display be wider than before. The Mac can now appear within Apple Vision Pro as a widescreen monitor, the equivalent of two 4K displays side by side.
Audio from a connected Mac is now routed through the Apple Vision Pro speakers, too. There is also a general improvement to gaming responsiveness.
Apple says that there have been bug fixes to do with the Mac virtual display, too. These include an issue where playing videos in Firefox wouldn’t work, and Siri was unresponsive.
