Due to the pandemic, face-to-face classes will be left in the second place, as well as jobs, becoming remotely from our homes. And although it is already returning to normality, it is always good to know some of the methods that we have at our disposal to be able to share the presentations of different projects or jobs from our mobile device.
In addition, today’s smartphones make it very easy for us, as it has functionalities that allow us to quickly share the presentation that we had prepared. It is not even necessary to have a projector, although it will also depend on whether we want to do it directly from the mobile or share this presentation in person to another device, be it a television or projector. Therefore, we will explain how to get it easily.
Share a presentation during a video call
If you still have to work remotely and make presentations from home, but you don’t have a computer that’s too powerful to be able to do everything from it, you can always choose to share it from your phone, whether it’s Android or not. It will also depend on the app through which you make the video call.
For this reason, the steps that we will explain will be general so that you can apply it on your mobile device. In addition, the possible steps will be similar for both Android phones and iPhones. To do this, we will have to first join the respective video call and press between the settings of this an option that is called in a similar way to Share screen or Relay screen .
It must be taken into account that, if a person in the video call is broadcasting the panel of his smartphone or computer, if we click on this option , the presentation of the other person will stop automatically. Then, once you want to remove the screen of your smartphone from the video call, you will have to click on the option that offers you the option to Stop sharing.
Connect your mobile to a projector
Another possibility that we will have at our disposal will be to connect our own mobile device to a projection equipment. Depending on the model, it will have to be via HDMI cable or, if it is one of the newer models, it will be possible to transmit the panel of the mobile device through a Wi-Fi connection.
In the case that it is by cable, we will need to have an HDMI cable and the corresponding adapter that will allow us to finally connect it. You will have to pay attention when it comes to getting this connector, since the type will vary depending on whether you have a smartphone or another, either USB type C or a Lightning connector from Apple smartphones.
This option will be one of the best ways to share it, as it will offer us the best video quality at all times, and better sound. The negative side of this alternative is that, as we said, we will need an adapter and also that our mobile device has the option of video output.
For the latter, we can consult it on the website of the manufacturer of our mobile device or search for it directly in a web browser. However, you will not need to look for this option within the iPhone, since all Apple terminals have the video signal output.
However, if your favorite option is via Wi-Fi , you will also need to have a tool with which to connect your smartphone to the projector and thus be able to broadcast the mobile panel so that you can see the presentation you have prepared. If the projection device is more recent, it will recommend us to install its application on our phone to be able to send the content from the mobile device.
Although, we also have the possibility of using an extra accessory, which can also be used on those televisions that do not have Smart TV, which is known as Chromecast. To do this, we only have to connect this accessory through an HDMI cable to the projector . And once the connection between the projection equipment and our terminal is established, we can begin to share the content of the screen of our smartphone.
Make the presentation be seen on a TV from your Android
We also have the way to share a presentation from the mobile by connecting it to a TV. In this option, both the Chromecast option and the fact of connecting it through an HDMI cable would also enter. However, if the place where you go they have a Smart TV, it will be much easier to show the content of your mobile on it.
The first option that we will have is to use the function that most Android mobiles have to send content to a Smart TV. We refer to Miracast, a technology that allows us to duplicate the screen of a smartphone so that we can enjoy what we see on the mobile on the TV screen.
However, this protocol basically works by sending content through Wi-Fi Direct , a technology that was developed so that direct communication could be made between different devices. And, in addition, it will be necessary to connect both the TV and the mobile to the same router. It will also be necessary for us to verify that our terminal and the television are compatible, although in most cases they are.
In any case, we can also make use of one of the options that many Android already have available, Wireless projection that we will find in the quick settings of our mobile device.
And on an iPhone?
If in your case you have an iPhone, we have AirPlay and Screen mirroring options . In the first method, it will be necessary to connect the device to the same Wi-Fi network, a step that will also be necessary in Screen mirroring. If your presentation is on video, you can use the first route since we will have the possibility of using this function. Instead, if not, follow these steps:
- Connect your iPhone to the same Wi-Fi network as Apple TV or compatible smart TV.
- Open the Control Center.
- Tap on Screen mirroring.
- Select the AirPlay 2-compatible Apple TV or smart TV from the list.
- If an AirPlay code appears on the TV screen, enter the code on your Apple mobile device.
Once you want to duplicate the content of your smartphone, you will have to open the Control center again, touch Duplicate screen and then click Stop duplicating . In this way we will get the broadcast to TV to stop.
