1. Install the Apple TV App on the Google Play Store

If your Nebula projector is running on Android TV version 8 or above, you can easily find and install the Apple TV app from the Google Play Store.

Here’s a quick guide on how to verify your Nebula projector’s Android TV version:

Step 1: Navigate to Settings, and select Device Preferences.

Step 2: Go to About.

Step 3: Check the row Firmware version.

Following that, here’s how you can install the Apple TV app from the Google Play Store:

Step 1: Launch the Google Play Store.

Step 2: Type “apple tv” in the search bar, then click Install.

Step 3: After the installation process is complete, open the app, sign in with your Apple account, and start enjoying your favorite movies.

2. Mirror from Your Smartphone

You can also open the Apple TV app on your smartphone and wirelessly mirror it onto your Nebula projector.

I’m going to focus on showing you how to cast content from both Android and iPhone devices to your Nebula projector using wireless methods.

For those interested in more stable, wired connections, there’s a dedicated article available that details checking if your phone supports AV transmission and provides instructions for connecting your devices together.

Android Phones

Step 1: On your Nebula projector, navigate to the Google Play Store, and download the Airscreen app.

Step 2: Launch the app, go through the initial steps until it shows the screen below, and tap the X mark to skip the tutorial.

Step 3: Ensure both your projector and Android phone are connected to the same Wi-Fi network.

Step 4: Open the Google Home app, and head to the Devices tab.

If it’s your first time using the Google Home app, follow the initial setup, granting the necessary permissions regarding Bluetooth and local network access.

Step 5: Your Nebula projector should now be visible on the list of available devices, select it.

Step 6: Choose Cast screen, then tap on Start now.

Your Android screen will now be displayed on the Nebula projector.

Step 7: Open the web browser, go to tv.apple.com, sign in to your Apple account, and enjoy your favorite movies and shows.

iPhones

Step 1: Ensure that both your iPhone and Nebula projector are on the same Wi-Fi network.

Step 2: On your projector, go to the Google Play Store, and install the Nebula Cast app.

Step 3: Open the app, and click Confirm. Pay attention to the Nickname that appears on the screen, that’s your projector name on the AirPlay list.

Step 4: On your iPhone, swipe down to access the Control Center, and tap on the Screen Mirror icon.

Step 5: Choose your Nebula from the list.

Step 6: Open the Apple TV app and start streaming your favorite content.

3. Plug in a Streaming Device

Given that most modern streaming devices now support the Apple TV app, you can easily bypass the limitations of older Nebula projectors by simply connecting a device like Roku.

This method allows you to access the Apple TV app even if your projector’s software isn’t compatible.

However, it’s important to note that some older streaming devices, such as the Roku 1, may not support the Apple TV app. I recommend checking the list of devices supported by Apple TV for confirmation.

To help you get started with watching Apple TV content via a streaming device, I’ll walk you through the process using my Roku Ultra as an example:

Step 1: Use an HDMI cable to link your Roku device directly to your Nebula projector.

Step 2: On the Roku, navigate to the Streaming Store, and search for “apple tv”.

Step 3: Click Add app.

Step 4: Once the app is installed, sign into your Apple account to begin streaming your favorite shows and movies on the big screen.

4. Mirror from Your Laptop

Mirroring content from your laptop to the Nebula projector can be done using both wired and wireless options, offering flexibility based on your setup and preferences.

Use an HDMI Cable

Step 1: Connect your Nebula projector and laptop using an HDMI cable.

Step 2: Open a web browser on your laptop, go to tv.apple.com, and sign in to your Apple account.

Now, you can enjoy your favorite movies and shows on a larger screen.

Use AirPlay (for macOS)

Step 1: First, install the Nebula Cast app on your projector.

Step 2: Open the app, and click Confirm. Make a note of the Nickname displayed; this is how your projector will appear in the AirPlay list.

Step 3: On your MacBook, click the Control Cbenter icon, and select Screen Mirroring.

Step 4: Choose your Nebula projector from the list.

Step 5: Open a web browser and go to tv.apple.com, log in to your Apple account, and you’re set to enjoy Apple TV on a bigger screen.

Use Chromecast (for Both Windows OS & macOS)

Chromecasting from your laptop to the Nebula projector is straightforward with the Google Chrome web browser.

Here is how to do so.

Step 1: Ensure your laptop and Nebula projector are on the same Wi-Fi network.

Step 2: Open the Google Chrome browser on your laptop. If you haven’t installed the browser yet, go to this link, click Download Chrome, and follow the on-screen instructions.

Step 3: Click the kebab menu at the top right corner, hover over Save and share before selecting Cast…

Step 4: In the Cast menu, click Sources, select Cast screen, and choose your Nebula projector.

Step 5: Visit tv.apple.com, and sign in to your Apple account.
