Hey everyone, I’ve been trying to use both DoCast and ApowerMirror on my Mac for screen mirroring, but I keep running into connection drops and lag. Sometimes the audio doesn’t sync, and other times the screen just freezes. Has anyone else had these issues? What worked for you to fix these glitches, especially on macOS? Would love some tips!

Hey! Yeah, I’ve faced similar problems with both DoCast and ApowerMirror on macOS. From my experience, the biggest culprits tend to be network instability and software version mismatches. Make sure your Mac and the device you’re casting to are on the same strong Wi-Fi network — switching to 5 GHz instead of 2.4 GHz can really help reduce lag. Also, check for the latest updates for both apps and macOS itself. I found a pretty detailed comparison and troubleshooting guide here: DoCast App vs ApowerMirror. It explains how each app handles connectivity and what settings you can tweak, like firewall permissions or permissions to record the screen on macOS, which is often overlooked. For instance, ApowerMirror sometimes requires you to manually allow screen recording in System Preferences > Security & Privacy. Also, if the audio is out of sync, try toggling the audio output settings or restarting the apps after a fresh reboot. Sometimes just restarting the Mac cleans up the system’s temporary files, improving performance. Hope this helps!
