how to connect macbook pro to projector

 

This article will demonstrate step by step how to connect a Macbook Pro to a Projector.

Connecting your laptop’s audio output to the projector’s audio input is only one of the few steps that need to be done in order for you to project your laptop’s screen onto a projector.

You have two options on how you can connect your laptop to the projector, wired or wireless. A wired connection refers connecting your computer using an HDMI cable, an audio cable (3.5 mm) and an extra USB-C (or Thunderbolt 3) cable if needed. This method is ideal if you don’t have access to Wi-Fi for a wireless connection. A wireless connection refers connecting your computer using Wi-Fi. This can be done through a software, such as AirParrot or AirServer, or through an app on your computer such as Wireless HDMI. This method is ideal if you have access to Wi-Fi and want to avoid the clutter of cables that come with the wired method.

Note: This process can be done in any order. Steps 1 and 2 are only necessary if you do not have an extra set of video cables around and need to get replacements. Steps 3 and 4 may not be necessary depending on what input device you will use with your laptop (such as a flash drive, SD card, or hard disk). Steps 5-7 are important for a successful connection.

Additional notes:

* Depending on the location of your laptop and projector, you may need to buy a wireless adapter.

* You can also use this guide to connect your laptop to an HDTV with the same steps.

* If you want to connect your Mac laptop to an Xbox or Playstation, use this guide instead: How To Connect Mac Laptops To An Xbox Or Playstation.

* Another method is to plug the projector's cable into the VGA port yourself instead of using a video cable. This will not work on newer Macs as they have HDMI ports instead of VGA ports.
