How do I watch Netflix from my iPhone to my projector?

This is the main part of our article. Where I am going to tell you how you can stream Netflix with the projector. It’s very easy.

If your intention is not to watch Netflix. Then this is a similar way. You can normally connect the projector with the iPhone.

First, we use an HDMI cable.

Here I am using the Power Bear HDMI cable. You can use others brand too.

You have to connect the HDMI cable to the HDMI port available behind the projector. The first step is done. If your projector has 2 HDMI ports, then you should use the first port.

Second, we use the HDMI to lighting cable.

Here we are using the Apple official HDMI to the lightning adapter to connect. It supports 1080p resolution and in this adapter, you will get the 2 ports.

You have to take the HDMI cable that you have already put in the projector HDMI port. You have to connect that HDMI cable to inside the lighting adapter HDMI port.

Your second step is done.

Third/Last we use lighting port

In our last step, we connect the lighting adapter cable with our iPhone/iPad charging port. Done if your projector and device are on then after a few seconds of connecting you will see the success.

Also, don’t forget to choose the HDMI port as a source.

And thus our last/third step is done.

Now you can see the projection of your iPhone/iPad on the projection screen. You will see the projection size of your iPhone/iPad on the projection screen.

Because there is a difference between the native resolution of the projector and iPhone/iPad.

When playing video content then the projection will be normal.

This is How do you watch Netflix from my iPad and iPhone from your projector.

What if I have to use the VGA cable? The process will be the same for iPhone and iPad.

But two things will be changed Adapter and Cable. You will need the VGA to Lighting Adapter and VGA to VGA cable.

Warm Tips

1. If your projection has not happened after using these three steps. Then restart both projector and iPhone/iPad one by one. 
2. Make sure your wire connection is tight between Projector, HDMI cable, Lighting cable, and iPhone/iPad.
3. You can suspect the HDCP also when it’s saying mirroring is happening elsewhere.
4. A normal projector easily detects the connection when putting the cable in the port. But your projector doesn’t. You can tap the Search source, Search input and Search Burn button.

You can find these buttons somewhere on the projector. If you didn’t find this button you should check your projector manual to search this button.

Because this button named different in the different projector. But the purpose is the same to find the search connection.
