Best Practices when connecting via a computer and a TV monitor

Check Internet Connection: Make sure you are logged onto the WiFi at the venue and have a secure connection. If possible, connect via an ethernet cable.
Check compatibility: Ensure that the TV has the necessary ports to connect to your computer. We recommend using HDMI.
Connect the cable securely: Insert the cable firmly into the ports on both the computer and the TV. Make sure the connection is secure to prevent signal loss or disconnection during the presentation.
Turn on the TV and switch to the correct input: Power on the TV and switch to the input source corresponding to the port you connected the computer to (e.g., HDMI 1).
Boot up the computer: Once the TV is set to the correct input, boot up the computer. Allow it to fully start up before proceeding.
Adjust display settings: Depending on your computer's operating system (Windows or macOS), adjust the display settings to extend or duplicate the desktop to the TV.
Check audio output: Make sure the audio output settings on your computer are configured to use the TV speakers.
Test the connection: Use the above video to test the video and audio connection.
Have a backup plan: In case of any issues with the primary connection method, such as a faulty cable or incompatible ports, have a backup plan ready. This could include bringing an extra cable or using a different method of connecting, such as wireless screen mirroring.
Consider using a wireless connection: If available, you may opt for wireless screen mirroring technologies like Miracast, AirPlay, or Chromecast to connect the computer to the TV without cables. Ensure both devices are compatible and set up properly for wireless connection.
Practice beforehand: Before the actual presentation, conduct a dry run to ensure everything works smoothly. This allows you to troubleshoot any potential issues beforehand and familiarize yourself with the setup process.

Best Practices when connecting via a computer and a projector

Check Internet Connection: Make sure you are logged onto the WiFi at the venue and have a secure connection. If possible, connect via an ethernet cable.
Verify compatibility: Ensure that the projector and your computer have compatible ports for connection. Common ports include VGA and HDMI
Select the appropriate cable: Choose the correct cable based on the available ports on both the computer and the projector. For example, if both devices have HDMI ports, use an HDMI cable for the best quality.
Power off both devices: Before connecting the cable, power off both the computer and the projector.
Connect the cable securely: Insert the cable firmly into the ports on both the computer and the projector. Make sure the connection is secure to prevent signal loss or disconnection during the presentation.
Turn on the projector: Power on the projector and allow it to warm up. Some projectors may take a few moments to boot up and display an image.
Set the projector to the correct input source: Use the projector's remote or controls to select the input source corresponding to the port you connected the computer to (e.g., VGA, HDMI, etc.).
Boot up the computer: Once the projector is set to the correct input, boot up the computer. Allow it to fully start up before proceeding.
Adjust display settings: Depending on your computer's operating system (Windows or macOS), adjust the display settings to extend or duplicate the desktop to the projector.
Check audio output: If you intend to play audio through the projector, ensure that the audio output settings on your computer are configured correctly. Some projectors may have built-in speakers, while others may require external speakers or audio systems.
Test the connection: Use the above video to test the video and audio connection.
Have a backup plan: In case of any issues with the primary connection method, such as a faulty cable or incompatible ports, have a backup plan ready. This could include bringing an extra cable or external computer speakers.
