Smartphone Settings & Projection

Your smartphone screen rotation should be locked in one position. So your smartphone screen doesn’t spin.

The setting will be different for android and iPhone. And your brightness and sound should be high.

If the volume of your smartphone is not loud for you. You should connect your Bluetooth speakers to the smartphone. If you have Bluetooth speakers.
