In this step-by-step guide, we will walk you through the process of screen mirroring your iPhone to a Chromebook.

Requirements

Before we begin, make sure you have the following:

• An iPhone running iOS 11 or later
• A Chromebook running Chrome OS 65 or later
• A stable Wi-Fi connection

Step 1: Enable Screen Mirroring on your iPhone

The first step is to enable screen mirroring on your iPhone. Here’s how:

1. Open the Control Center on your iPhone by swiping down from the top-right corner of the screen (or up from the bottom on older iPhone models).
2. Tap on the “Screen Mirroring” or “AirPlay” option.
3. A list of available devices will appear. Select your Chromebook from the list.
4. Enter the passcode displayed on your Chromebook, if prompted.
5. Your iPhone screen should now be mirrored on your Chromebook.

Step 2: Connect your Chromebook to the same Wi-Fi network

In order for screen mirroring to work, both your iPhone and Chromebook need to be connected to the same Wi-Fi network. If they are not already connected, follow these steps:

1. Click on the network icon in the bottom-right corner of the Chromebook screen.
2. Select your Wi-Fi network from the list of available networks.
3. Enter the Wi-Fi password, if prompted.
4. Your Chromebook should now be connected to the Wi-Fi network.

Step 3: Adjust the Screen Mirroring Settings on your Chromebook

Before you start screen mirroring, you may want to adjust some settings on your Chromebook for a better experience. Here are a few options you can consider:

• Resolution: You can change the resolution of the mirrored screen by going to the “Settings” menu on your Chromebook and selecting “Display”. From there, you can choose the desired resolution.
• Orientation: If the mirrored screen appears upside down or sideways, you can adjust the orientation by going to the “Settings” menu and selecting “Display”. Look for the “Orientation” option and choose the correct orientation.
• Sound: By default, the sound from your iPhone will be played through the speakers of your Chromebook. If you prefer to listen to the sound through your iPhone’s speakers, you can change this setting by going to the “Settings” menu and selecting “Sound”. Look for the “Output” option and choose “iPhone”.
