unable to connect my HP chromebook 14-db0503na to my TV

[PC190]

Hi,

I am unable to connect my HP Chromebook 14-db0503na to my TV. My chromebook does not have a HDMI port so I have plugged in the HDMI cable from my TV into a HDMI to USB adapter but I am unable to screencast my chromebook to my TV. Can someone tell me why this is so please?

Thanks

@PC190 Welcome to HP Community!

I understand that you are unable to connect the Chromebook to TV using HDMI.

Please perform the below steps and check.

1. Start by plugging the HDMI cable into your laptop.

• If an adapter is required, plug the cord into the adapter first and then fit the adapter into one of your Chromebook's USB-C ports on the side of the keyboard.

2. Plug the other end of the HDMI cord into your TV. Many TVs have multiple ports located on the back, sides, or bottom of the screen.

3. Turn on or wake up your Chromebook. A pop-up may appear confirming your Chromebook is connected.

4. Make sure you've changed your TV input to the appropriate channel. For many TVs, this should be labeled as "HDMI 3" or "HDMI 4."

5. After selecting the correct HDMI input, your desktop background should appear on the TV screen. 

6. To ensure all items on your computer are properly displayed on the TV, you'll also need to turn on "Mirror Internal Imaging" in your settings. Access your Chromebook settings from the Launcher or by clicking the time in the bottom-right hand corner of your desktop.

7. Click "Advanced" on the left hand side of the pop-up.

8. Select "Device" followed by "Displays."

9. Scroll down to the "Arrangement" section.

10. Check the "Mirror Internal Display" box. This will turn the white box to a blue checkmark. 

Check "Mirror Internal Display."

You should now see your entire computer screen now mirrored (instead of just the desktop background). You are free to open apps such as YouTube or Microsoft Office, as well as browse Chrome or your Google Drive to display web pages and other documents.
