  i’ve never seen a youtuber do it but you can screen mirror an iphone onto a mac. you have to use the mouse only as if it was your finger

  If they are mirror'ing the display from the phone (or tablet) to a Mac, that's just the display output.
  (Which is OK, but the mirror’d display really only helps for showing to others, I doubt you can play very well if your fingers are on your phone/tablet while your eyes are on your Monitor or TV).
  
  If it's just Mirror'd, they wouldn’t be using the processor of the Mac for running the game, so they wouldn’t be using the Mac's keyboard or mouse.
  
  And if you *ARE*, thus by some Emulators on the Mac, then that is against the Terms of Service and can result in a Ban.

  And I will add that there is no good experience to have mirroring your phone to your computer. It will always be terrible.

  Can you play mcoc on a MacBook?
  If so how so?
  Do you play with a controller or do u use keyboard an mouse?
  Im just confused i see youtubers playing on mac books using multiple screens but never seen mcoc in person played on a MacBook.?? Wondering if its better then mobile?
  
  Appreciate the feedback

  Theoretically you could. Some have played on Chromebooks when Google Play was available on them. In order for a device to qualify as "safe" it has to have it's App store native to the device. So for example- iPhones and Androids having their respective App Stores.
  
  Chromebooks were safe because Google Play was available. But the experience playing the game wasn't that great. It's a big screen and was hard to position your hands. The same would be said about MacBooks. I don't like anything related to Apple products so forgive my ignorance but if they aren't touch screen, you'd never be able to play.
  
  MCOC does not support controllers. Whether it's one of those backbone devices or another controller set up, MCOC can't use them. There isn't keyboard support so if the Mac isn't touch screen, then you wouldn't be able to use it.
  
  Long story short, stick to phones and tablets that you're used to. I know that you're going to have it your way or nothing at all but I think you're moving too fast.

  with the last macos update (i think) they added a new form of mirroring for iphones where you can actually control the phone with the mac. so the display is on the mac and everything is controlled with the mac’s trackpad (or mouse i guess)

  It's going to depend strictly on you. Do you like a bigger surface area or smaller and easier to work with.

  I play on a pixel 9 and iPad 9th gen. I like the iPad space better and would actually prefer to play on it most of the time.
