Trying to Airplay from your Mac to your FireTv/Firestick?

Here’s how I did it…

I have the following items:

• Macbook Pro (on Wifi)
• FireTV (on ethernet)
• Chrome Web Browser to play media content

Problem to solve (User Story):

• As a user I must Airplay / Cast the video from my udemy course wirelessly from my macbook to my TV so that I can watch and listen the content while I complete the course steps on my computer on a separate screen

Acceptance Criteria:

• Wireless play of video from macbook to TV without wires
• Must use FireTV client on TV
