      Most laptops are only designed to output on their HDMI port. You would need to look for video capture devices like the Elgato HD60 to input video from, say, a gaming console to record into digital files on your laptop. Need more help?

      When connecting wirelessly your computer will use slightly more energy with the transmission of video. You'll likely only notice this with most computers after several hours of use.

    Instructions for using HDMI cable worked great, (Thank you!) so I thought I'd give wireless a try. After I choose desktop as my source, I have two options, my Fire TV stick or my TV, but neither choice is clickable. Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

    • @BestBuy
      @BestBuy  3 года назад +2

      Using your Fire TV Stick remote, press and hold the Home button until the menu comes up that shows "Mirroring". This should display a screen on the TV letting you know it's available for connections. Try your connection again.

    For years we have watched RUclips videos and other streaming services by using HDMI cable from laptop to tv. All of a sudden either the videos won't run properly on the tv, while they are fine on the laptop. Sometimes the show won't open at all, sometimes the sound is out of sync. Do you have a solution so we can still connect with an HDMI cable? Thank you!

    • @BestBuy
      @BestBuy  Год назад +1

      You may want to check for driver updates for your laptop's video card. If the issue continues, check with the laptop manufacturer's tech support team for specific solutions available. An alternative solution may be to invest in an inexpensive smart TV device to allow streaming apps to run natively on the TV, including RUclips, without the need for the laptop. Connect with our home theater experts at bby.me/nso69n for free advice and recommendations on the best solution for your needs and budget.

There you should see options controlling when your screen will shut off and when your computer will sleep after periods of no-input or inactivity on the device.

    • @BestBuy
      @BestBuy  2 года назад

      We recommend checking the product manual and specs for that laptop for a video output even if it's not HDMI as one option.
      The alternative is to purchase a cheap WiFi router to create a small WiFi network in your trailer that both the Chromebook and a Google Chromecast [ bby.me/ttu0ak
      ] could connect to. The WiFi does not have to be connected to the Internet for the Chromecast to share video from the Chromebook to the TV via the TV's HDMI input.

    Chrome says it is already installed but I can not locate it, or the 3 little buttons. I do not know what cast is. I do not see anything that looks like what you show. I just bought 2 film festival films. Only have a few days to watch them but I do not know how.

      For Microsoft Windows, hit the Windows button on your keyboard and then type "chrome" in the search box to confirm the app is fully installed. If it's not available, you might need to go into the Settings > Apps & Features menu to uninstall and reinstall Google Chrome.
      If you're still unable to find the app, additional help may be needed. Contact our Geek Squad team by visiting bby.me/99rxvu to chat with a Geek Squad Agent to check the system out so they can make recommendations on next steps.

      While some TVs have a VGA input, here's a VGA to HDMI adapter you can use if yours doesn't: bby.me/uem9r.

      FYI, there are two VGA adapters that you might need.
      1. VGA to HDMI
      2. HDMI to VGA
      Some older computers only have VGA ports and the newer TV's or monitors have HDMI, in this case use option #1
      Newer computers usually have HDMI ports and if you have a older monitor it might only have VGA, in this case use option #2
      I have seen new mini computers with both VGA and HDMI, some people say the VGA isn't needed but I say it should be a standard port.
      FYI, you can not interchange these adopters, one has a female VGA and the other has a male VGA port.

    You need a TV 📺 and a laptop 💻 with appropriate slots [inputs and outputs] and cables if they are not wireless.
