The geeky stuff: Getting everything connected.

To make sure you run your at home film festival experience smoothly check out the below option that may work for you.  

Airplay

If you have AppleTV, you can stream to your television using Airplay. You will need to do this through safari on your iphone, or Mac computer. You can also stream to your TV from the Queer Screen app using your iPhone (not available on Android devices)

Chromecast

You can Chromecast from a Chrome web browser on PC as well as Android devices by selecting the cast button in the bottom right-hand side of the player. You will need to do this on a chrome browser.

HDMI Cable

If you do not have either Apple TV or Chromecast, you can connect your device to your TV with a HDMI connection to view the content. 

How to connect a HDMI cable: 

1) Do you have a HDMI cable that fits both your device and your TV? 

2) find the ports on your computer and TV, plug in the cable 

3) Select ‘input’ or ‘source’ on your remote and scroll through until you find a mirror image of your screen. You can then press play and watch the film.  

NB: will only work with other devices if you have the appropriate adaptors and hardware
