Best Methods to Watch Netflix on a Projector
Use a streaming stick (Fire Stick, Roku, Chromecast)
A streaming stick is specially designed to help stream Netflix on your Projector. It is required even if your Projector is connected to a wireless network.
Like Roku, these streaming sticks must be plugged into the USB port at the Projector’s back with one end connected to the power source.
You will get a few prompts on the screen. Just follow them, and you will see Netflix running on your projector screen in no time.
How to watch Netflix using Chromecast: Same with Fire & Roku
If you have a Chromecast streaming stick at home, you can also use the Chromecast to connect Netflix to your Projector.
This device works with your Android or IOS device, laptop, or desktop. All you need to do is connect the Chromecast device to the HDMI port of your Projector.
The biggest benefit of using the Chromecast device is that you don’t have to use any wires, and second, you get two different options available. You can stream videos with a standard resolution of 1080p or watch 4k videos on Netflix using Chromecast Ultra.
Apart from using a Chromecast or a streaming device like Roku, you can also play Netflix on your Projector with your laptop, Apple TV, or Android smartphone.
So, if you don’t have an HDMI extender kit or a streaming stick, you can still run Netflix on your Projector. Let me tell you how.
How to run Netflix on your Projector using a Laptop?
You need to connect your laptop to your Projector either wirelessly or with the help of an HDMI or USB port. Using the same Wi-Fi network, both devices can be connected wirelessly.
Remember, if you use a Mac OS, you must use the Airplay option to run Netflix on your Projector.
How to Run Netflix on your Projector using an Android device?
If you wish to run Netflix on your Projector using an Android device, ensure you have a display port function and a type C USB cable.
Download the Netflix app on your mobile device and search for the necessary options once the cable connects the phone to the Projector.
Click on the appropriate options to see Netflix running on your Projector.
How to connect Netflix to your Projector using Apple TV?
If your Apple TV is already connected to a wireless network, you only need to share the same wireless network with your Projector.
Once the TV and your Projector are on the same wireless network, you must access the Netflix app through the Apple TV menu section.
Re-enter your username and password, and you will see the Netflix content projected on the Projector from the TV.
Things to keep in mind if Netflix Won’t Play
In nine out of ten cases, you can easily connect Netflix to your Projector using any of the ways mentioned earlier, but what if you have tried all possible ways and still can’t run Netflix on your Projector? What could have gone wrong?
It is important to keep an eye out for details when you are connecting to Netflix using any of these steps because there is a fair possibility that you might miss out on the basics.
I have listed things you must remember while connecting your Projector to Netflix.
- If you use an iPhone or iPad to connect Netflix on your Projector, make sure you are not using AirPlay as it is incompatible with iPhones. If you have turned on the AirPlay mode, turn it off and try again.
- There is an outside chance that the Projector you are trying to play Netflix on is not a compatible projector. Check for the specifications before establishing a connection.
- You must check the connections when trying to run Netflix using HDMI cables. Ensure your kit performs, ensure no anti-privacy laws are blocking the signals, and, most importantly, update your Netflix app.
What are the additional ways to get Netflix on your Projector
You can use an HDMI kit with a transmitter and an adaptor. It would help if you plugged the transmitter into the HDMI port and the adaptor into the outlet. If you are using a streaming stick, you need to connect the stick to the transmitter’s USB port. Once the devices are connected, all that is required is to follow the instructions on the screen. Once the connected components are in sync, you will see Netflix playing on your Projector.
