Screencasting from Android

Terms, Concepts

• USB-C is female. The USB-C port on a Google Pixel phone is female. Specifically, it's a female USB Type-C connector, which is the receptacle that accepts a male USB-C plug from a cable or adapter.
• HDMI socket on a monitor is female.
• A Pixel 7 running GrapheneOS will not allow you to directly screencast to a monitor using a USB-C to HDMI cable without any software or additional hardware. Pixel 7, and even the Pixel 7 Pro, lack the hardware and software support for video output via USB-C to HDMI. Pixel 8 and later models do have this capability, but not the Pixel 7.
• DisplayLink or Chromecast is required on pixel 7 to screencast. [1]
• DisplayLink adapters use software to produce video signal, as Pixel 7 doesn't have hardware to produce video signal out of USB c
• Chromecast plugs into the HDMI port on monitor. It requires a network to work, and that network probably cannot be a hotspot from the device you are using to screencast [2].
• For apple, this works - [3]

Chromecast

• The Android Branded Video Streaming over Wifi
• ”Airplay” is the apple equivalent
• If only 1080p is needed, Chromecast units aren’t too pricy and are a nice thing to have
• Walmart has a nice Android TV box for 4k UHD etc
• Granted all the concerns of smart devices, but Smart TVs/Monitors/AV Receivers often advertise chromecast/airplay built in
