How to Wirelessly Connect an Apple Device to a Projector - Vankyo projector

As is the case with most things Apple, wireless connection to a projector using an Apple device is a bit tricky. The main option available is through manufacturer-designed wireless connections as already described above.

Check your projector brand and model to confirm if it supports wireless connection from iOS devices. If this is not available, you may have to use any of the wired connection options (discussed below).

However, if you only need a projector to broadcast content on a larger screen indoors, there may be other options that will not include using a projector.

Connect to Apple TV

In some work environments, projectors have been replaced by Apple TVs and HDTVs. If this applies in your situation, you can use AirPlay to send the media file to the Apple TV from your device by taking the following steps:

  • Ensure the Apple TV and your iOS device are connected to the same Wi-Fi network
  • Open the Control Center on your device
  • Select the “Screen Mirroring” option
  • Tap the Apple TV you’d like to stream to

Your device will appear on the screen at this point, especially for newer iOS versions. For older devices or iOS versions, however, you may have an additional menu displaying a slider.

  • Tap the slider to turn on mirroring
  • Select “Done” to start projecting to the Apple TV

Connect your iOS device to a TV with AllCast

Do you have a smart TV from popular brands? Do you have conventional TV screens but with Amazon Fire TV, Roku or Google Chromecast connected? You can stream your media files onto the big screen from your iOS devices without a projector. An Xbox 360 or Xbox One can also do the job.

All you need is the AllCast app (available in the App Store). The app is designed to fill in when using devices that do not support AirPlay. Once the app is installed on your iOS device, select the right connected screens and launch your presentation.
