How To Screen Mirror Fire HD 10 To TV Using Micro USB Adaptor That Serves As A Miracast Dongle

You can use a Micro USB/USB C to HDMI adapter to display the content of your Fire HD 10 (any generation) to your TV. This option is useful as it allows you to project any Fire HD 10, including the seventh, ninth, and tenth generation tablet, to a TV with zero latency.

Generally, this type of adaptor has three ports: the HDMI port that connects to the TV, the USB port to charge the device, and the micro USB that connects to the Fire HD 10. The HDMI port utilizes its built-in converter that converts the media of Fire HD 10 using an app called Miracast.

Connect the HDMI cable of the dongle to your Tv. Please follow your TV manual if you are unsure of the correct way of connecting an HDMI cable to the TV.

Plug the micro USB C cable into the micro USB slot of your Fire HD 10.
As soon as you plug in the USB C cable to your Fire HD 10’s USB port, it will give you a few prompts, and you should accept them by tapping in OK. Doing so will prompt you to download an app on your Fire HD 10 called MiraPlug,
Download the MiraPlug app either from the web or the Google play store and install the app.
Once you’ve installed the required app, unplug and plug in the USB C cable once again to your Fire HD 10 tablet.
Accept all the prompts by tapping “OK,” which will protect the screen of your Fire HD 10 to TV.
