Most phones these days come standard with a new feature called "MHL". This means that the screens on your phone can be mirrored to your TV - for playing videos, game, or just for showing off! The steps are easy and you'll be kicking yourself for not doing this sooner.

1) Plug in any microUSB cable from your phone to a power outlet (or USB adapter).

2) Plug in the other end of the cable into one of your TV's USB ports. This will not work unless you have a direct connection to your TV, so make sure you have it connected directly to either a wall or USB outlet.

3) On your phone, go to Settings > General > Accessibility and check the box next to 'MHL'. If that doesn't work, you can also try Settings > Display & Brightness > Enable HDMI (MHL) output. Once those boxes are checked (or enabled), the option should be there at all times. This article will teach you how to connect your phone to a projector, what cables and adapters are necessary, how much they cost, and how simple this process is.  A quick tutorial:

The first step is figuring out what type of cable that you want to use. You can either use a VGA cable or an HDMI adapter. They both do the same thing but the HDMI adapter is cheaper and takes up less space in your bag or briefcase for portability purposes. The last step would be attaching the projector with the appropriate power input cables. For example if you were plugging in from a laptop's USB port, then you would need an USB-C cable with an adaptor if your computer did not have one included. This article will walk you through this process step by step.

1. An adapter to plug into your device. You can either get a lightning to VGA adapter or one for HDMI. I would recommend the VGA cable because it is cheaper and takes up less space, but HDMI is also very good. Just make sure you have a good connection in order to get high quality projected images and sound.

2. A laptop, phone, or tablet with a working projector (if connecting from a mobile device) If connecting directly from your computer then it must be able to project the screen onto your wall or other surface of choice.

3. Connecting your iPhone or Android phone to a projector is a surprisingly easy process, and might just be the best way to show off your phone's photos and videos on a bigger screen.

Mobile devices are great for messaging friends, reading the news, checking your bank account balance and so much more. But one of their greatest features is also one of the most underutilized: they're mighty handy when it comes to making presentations. Whether you need an emergency presentation at work or you're planning an entertaining movie night with friends, here's how to connect your mobile device and projector together.

Mobile device projector connection options

USB: Most phones and tablets with an operating system below Android 4.4 KitKat will require you to use the USB connection option. Simply plug one end of your USB charging cable into the projector and then plug the USB connector into your phone or tablet. Many projectors will automatically recognize when a mobile device is attached and will display the mobile device's screen on the projector automatically. If this does not happen, then follow these instructions for manually connecting your Android or iPhone to your projector:

1) Check which port you should use for connecting with a USB cable.
