Use Mac Virtual Display on Apple Vision Pro
Mac Virtual Display lets you view your Mac screen on Apple Vision Pro, and use your Mac trackpad to share the pointer between your Mac and Apple Vision Pro.
Both devices must be signed in to the same Apple Account, and your Mac must have macOS 14.0 or later installed.
Connect to your Mac
While wearing Apple Vision Pro, open Control Center, tap
If you’re using a MacBook, you may be able to simply look at your MacBook (make sure the Mac display is on), then tap
You can change the size of the Mac screen and move it towards or away from you, just like an app window in visionOS. See Move, resize, and close app windows on Apple Vision Pro.
While you’re connected, you can use your trackpad with your Mac as you normally would, and can also move the pointer past the edge of the Mac screen until it appears in an open visionOS app (and vice versa).
You can also continue using gestures to work with your visionOS apps.
To disconnect, tap
