Today everyone wants to see their favorite shows on a big screen with their loved ones right from their comfort zone.

Whether it’s for a movie night with friends or watching your favorite show on a bigger projection screen.

But sometimes it becomes a bit confusing when we don’t know how to connect apple tv to a projector when every step has been followed properly. 

How To Connect Apple TV to a Projector [HDMI Cable]

Before we begin the process, I request you to kindly check the HDMI port at the back of your projector if your projector is older.

If it has an HDMI port, you can follow the below steps.

But if your projector has a VGA port instead of HDMI, I recommend you purchase a converter from your local or online store. Let’s begin:

  1. First Power on both the devices, i.e., Apple TV and the Projector.
  2. Now connect the HDMI cable to both devices by plugging one end into the HDMI port of Apple TV and the second one into the projector’s HDMI port.
  3. After that, you will need to change the source of your projector to HDMI for it to get the signal from Apple TV.
  4. Now, the Apple TV device is successfully connected to your projector.
