Stream via Wi-Fi With a Media Player
If you have access to a Wi-Fi network, hooking up the projector to a media player is the easiest solution. As long as the projector has an HDMI port, you can plug any media streaming device into the projector. Since Android can connect wirelessly to those devices, playing Netflix on the projector becomes just as easy as streaming it to your TV. Instead of playing from your phone, the streaming device will load the video over Wi-Fi directly to the projector. You can use the Netflix app on the streaming device to control playback.
Connect to the Projector With HDMI
If you don’t have a streaming media device or a strong Wi-Fi connection, one option for playing Netflix from your Android to a projector is to connect the two with an HDMI cable. If you’re without Wi-Fi completely or the projector is too far from the router, your phone’s mobile connection (if you have the data for it) can stream Netflix to your phone, and the HDMI cable will pass it on the projector.
Some Projectors Support Miracast
If your projector has Miracast built-in, you can connect directly from your phone, with no hardware required (not even a router). This method is ideal if you’re not interested in getting an HDMI cable or streaming device and your devices support screen mirroring. Many phones support Miracast, but not all. If yours does, the following steps will get you going (these steps might not be the exact steps for your setup, but they should be close enough to get you where you need to go): On some projectors, the button you’re looking for is called LAN. When the projector shows a menu, go to Network > Screen Mirroring > ON. If you can’t find it, open the settings and look for it in the Connections or Display > Wireless display area.
