The HBO content giant offers support for almost all the existing popular devices and platforms for its HBO Max streaming service. Of course, this also applies to Apple products, and by extension, to Mac devices. Let's see how to sign up, download, and install HBO Max on Mac.
We should mention that you can also turn to your other Apple devices such as iPhone, iPad, iPod - and Apple TV 4K or Apple TV HD if you'd like to watch on a bigger screen.
What Mac Devices Are Supported by HBO Max?

Why Won't HBO Max Work on My Mac?
Make sure you're using a supported browser. If your browser is a supported one, update your browser to the latest version.
Can You Mirror HBO Max From Mac?
Yes, you can. To use the mirroring feature on a Mac, use the AirPlay icon in the menu bar to connect the devices and mirror HBO Max to a device with AirPlay 2 compatibility - such as Apple TV, for example.
