Sidecar APPLE SKILLS
Genius tip!
Your iPad apps still
work while you’re using
Sidecar! Just swipe up
to switch between apps- and you can even use
picture-in-picture to
display video as well.
Jargon buster
Apple’s AirPlay can
stream audio and video
between Apple devices.
Sidecar is based on
AirPlay, using it to
stream video from your
Mac to your iPad.3454
Sidecar Shortcuts
There are additional controls for Sidecar located in the
Sidecar and Displays preferences panels. There’s a shortcut
as well, as you can click the Sidecar icon in your Mac’s Menu
bar to see the new Sidecar pull-down menu.3
Dual Displays
The Mac desktop now appears on the screen of your iPad.
You can’t tap on the screen to control your Mac, but the Sidebar
and Touch Bar provide controls on the left-hand edge, and along
the bottom of the iPad screen.(^3)
Moving
the menu
You can use the
Arrangement tab in
the Mac’s Display
preferences to
move the Mac’s
menu bar onto
your iPad.

Keep in touch
This bottom
toolbar mimics
the Touch Bar
on the MacBook
Pro, showing the
main tools for
individual apps.

Full-screen mode
We’re running
Photos in a Window
on our Mac, but
you can switch to
full-screen mode
and use all your
iPad’s screen space.
