Instructions on connecting Chromebook to the projector

Turn off your Chromebook and projector.

Connect one end of the HDMI cable to the HDMI output on your Chromebook.

Connect the other end of the HDMI cable to the projector’s input.

Turn on your Chromebook and projector.

Put all of the things together, so they won’t come apart again while using them. It is easier said than done because it requires a lot of space and a massive table for everything not to fall over. If you don’t have these things, please stop, go out and buy a table with a leg in the middle so you can place your laptop at one end and your projector on top of it.

Turn on the Chromebook’s screen if it is not already turned on.

Press c-ctrl+f5 to switch the video output to the projector from the laptop’s screen.

Press c-ctrl+o to start projecting.

To stop projecting, press c-ctrl+o again.

If you are done with projecting, for now, turn off the projector, so it is not wasting electricity when nobody else wants to use it anymore.

Conclusion:

To connect a Chromebook to a projector, first, make sure the projector is turned on and connected to the same network as the Chromebook. Then, open the settings menu and select “Projector.” Select the projector you want to connect to and click “Connect.” If the projector is password-protected, you will be prompted to enter the password. That’s it! You should now be able to see the Chromebook screen on the projector.
