Q: Does it require an adapter to project Netflix playing on a Mac Air laptop?
A: The ViewSonic M1 Mini Ultra Portable LED Projector can receive inputs from a phone or computer via USB C or HDMI. The question is whether the phone or laptop supports display over USB C or HDMI. We recommend checking if the Mac Air supports display out over HDMI.
Q: How do I connect this to a Bluetooth speaker? I’m connected to the speaker but sound only comes out of the projector. Not very loud when outside.
