How to Connect PS4 Controller to Phone and view on a TV _ Laptop

Hi there .

My name is Vince , from my mate vince dot com .

And in this video today , we're gonna be connecting up this dual shock four controller that I got with the PS four slim to an android mobile phone .

Now it's really easy to do because they both use Bluetooth .

So to begin with , we need to turn on the Bluetooth on the actual phone itself .

Now different ways of doing this .

You can either use two fingers to scroll down from the top , and then you'll have the Bluetooth menu there .

Or you can go to the settings in your phone , which is here .

And then you can tap on Bluetooth there , so it's up to you which way you do it .

But let's just use the the quick way here .

So what we need to do is we need to turn on the Bluetooth , and then we actually need to go into the Bluetooth settings .

So if you were just to tap on the Bluetooth icon just below it , it will bring you into the settings here , and then we will go to more settings here .

So at the moment now it's searching for the Bluetooth items in the area , so it is actually picking up my TV .

But it's not picking up my controller because I haven't turned it on .

Now you need to put it into the pair in mode .

So the easiest way to do this is to hold down the share button here and the PlayStation button here for about three seconds , and you will see that the light will start to flash quickly like that .

So now that's looking for other devices .

So let's go back to the phone .

And because we've been a while , we're gonna have to refresh it or turn it on and off again .

So to refresh , you just hit the three buttons here and then go to refresh and you will see .

Now it's come up with wireless controller straight away , and you just tap on wireless controller and it will say pairing .

And there you go .

It's connected .

And if you have a look at the Bluetooth symbol at the top , you can see now it's got two dots either side of the symbol , denoting that it's connected to something .

So right now the controller has connected to the android phone and the light's gone to solid , and what we'll do is just show you a game work in there .

You can work your way around the screen by using the controller like so different buttons do different features now .

The only real difference is that you have to press the square to select something and not the X .

The X is like back , and the square is to select something that's that's the only real difference .

So if you press the square now , let's go into asphalt extreme .

Just put it in this little cover a second , right , OK , so you can move around the place and I'm gonna go to resume .

So I'm just gonna hit the square and set instead of the X .

Now , on this game , the controls are simple .

It's just accelerate like you would expect it to be .

Break here .

The L one button is to change the camera angle and then left .

Analogue stick is steering left and right and square , and X is boost .

Now there does seem to be very little lag on it .

It seems to be very responsive when you're using this controller .

So , for example , break in now accelerate break , break , break , break left right , Left , right , left , right .

So it feels perfect when you're playing it .

Yeah .

So it seems to work very well .

Now , I've only got about five games on this phone at the moment , and three of them do work .

I've got this one here .

I've also got another asphalt game that works .

Hill Climb works fine , but I have got a couple of other games that don't work .

So mini races doesn't work at all .

It doesn't recognise the controller at all .

Um , so it does seem to be quite hit and miss about what games do work and what don't .

So maybe it might be worth if , you know , it works well on a particular game .

Just add it to the comments , and then it will help other people out , because then you get an idea of what controllers ?

What games ?

Support these controllers .

Now , One other thing that you might like to do .

I'm gonna now cast this screen onto my big TV up there , and then I can sit back and play the mobile phone game on the big screen .

So I'm just gonna do that now .

OK , so now we're gonna cast it to the big screen on the wall .

Nice and easy to do .

All you gotta do is use two fingers down and then hopefully you will have a button that says Cast .

So just press that button there and it will bring up the items that you can cast to .

So at the moment , the bottom one is my TV and the top ones are laptop .

So if it doesn't work on your TT V , try it on your laptop .

So that's the TV up there .

So just press TV and it will say connecting .

And then in a few seconds , it will be working on the TV .

Mhm .

OK , now we can go back to our game again .

Leave the phone down here and now we can play it on the big screen up here .

And can you notice that the sound is now coming through the TV ?

So it's not coming through the phone anymore .

It's all cast over to the TV .

But when you do this , there is a lot more lags , so it's even going to be hard playing a game like this .

Any first person shooter is not gonna work , but if you are playing a slow game or a Minecraft type game , then it will be absolutely fine .

OK , so you can see it's a lot more laggy .

So if I break now , break break , you can see it's , uh you can see the brake lights come on about half a second after I said it .

But it is just about playable .

OK , so you get the idea now if you want to pass it to your laptop , What we have to do is we have to disconnect it from the TV .

So two fingers down , just tap the button there and just press that there and then it says home laptop .

So tap it onto your laptop and then it will be connecting down on your laptop .

There we go .

Yeah , So if it doesn't work on your TV , try it on your laptop .

Now there is settings on the laptop .

Let me just disconnect this for a moment .

Let me just show quickly , show you the settings that you have to go to , right .

What you have to do is you have to go down to the icon at the bottom here and you have to go to connect left , click , and then it says Project to this PC .

So now you need to allow it to project to the PC , so by default it will probably be set to always off .

So if it's always off , it's not going to allow you .

When you use your phone , it's not going to pick up the laptop .

So change that to available everywhere .

And then it says here , ask to project it as PC first time only or every time a connection is requested .

All that means is that when you try to connect it onto your phone , the laptop will ask you , Do you want to allow this and you click Yes or no ?

So if it's a home laptop , you might as well just do first time only , and it will only ask you the first time .

Then , after that , it will just connect automatically , like you seen when I just did it .

Now and that's it .

Just change those two settings .

You can set up a pin .

The other thing you can do is you can set it up where it will only project to this if it's plugged in .

So this is a laptop .

So if it's plugged into the power supply , then that by again by default , that will probably be to on .

So change that to off .

Otherwise , it's only gonna work when you actually plug it in to the electric supply .

Hopefully you found that video useful .
