<div>That's very strange.</div>

</div>
<div>I did my January presentation using my phone via
Miracast, and I haven't had a version upgrade lately; my</div>
<div>OnePlus 5 was on version 9 / Pi throughout. (Note that
after the meeting, someone, probably Ivan,</div>
<div>rebooted the monitor, at which point I suddenly *was*
projecting my phone screen to the monitor.</div>
<div>That wasn't an utter surprise; I was trying to do so ;-)!

</div>
<div>It seems as though we need some alternative handling, as
we're running into the trouble that</div>
<div>people are bringing laptops with newly discovered
interfaces (I think this time it was USB-C)</div>
<div>for which we had no adaptor available.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I'm not quite sure what the best alternative is; lurking
in my head is to pull out a ChromeCast</div>
<div>(that speaks HDMI, and can be plugged into a USB port),
in the hopes that we could push</div>
<div>slides over to this. Supposedly works... <<a

<div>Alternately, maybe a Raspberry Pi could do an apropos
job, but it needs to NOT need a lot of setup</div>
<div>to be "A/V-friendly."<br>
