JAG Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 I occasionally use a laptop connected to a ceiling mounted projector to show video clips and power point type presentations in class. Does anyone have any experience of using tablets to do this? I have a Huwaei Media Pad T3, and have seen adapters to connect from the micro USB port on the tablet to both HDMI and VGA leads (the projectors at my school vary). I asked the IT department, and they gazed at me in astonishment before shrugging their shoulders. Has anyone managed to use a tablet for this?

sensei Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 You would need an adapter depending in what connectivity is available on your tablet. I use a Macbook USB-C to VGA dongle that connects to the projector. I plugged in my Note 8 to the USB-C port of the dongle and it projected the image to the screen. I also have Google Chromecast that does everything wirelessly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sensei Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 This is the dongle that use. I also got an HDMI splitter and that is how I connect the Chromecast to the projector. Some projectors are WIFI projectors. Some are only WiFi capable but it only works with a proprietary USB WiFi adapter. I have to warn you though, Chromecast could get buggy at times and you won't be able to get it working with a phone wifi hotspot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
