Hello,

I have a projector and would like to project the screen from my many Android phones.

Unfortunately none of my phones have HDMI output.
At first I was expecting this to be as simple as connecting using a slimport micro-usb to HDMI adaptor, something like:

but I see that such adaptors are not compatible with all devices.

Then I looked at the chromecast and miracast and I see that while miracast can straight cast the home screen from the phone v/s casting from compatible apps (as with chromecast), miracast itself is not available on all phones (like I can see that some of my phones (even though they have Android 5 or higher, still don't have the cast screen option). So I'm not sure whether they can cast using miracast.

So I'm a bit confused on all this and was looking for some help on these lines.
