You turn around and the IT guy is nowhere to be seen. You desperately make a phone call trying to see if one of your colleagues has the adapter, but they are not answering. Luckily, the IT guy comes to the rescue! He tells you, “Oh! You have a Mac laptop, the projector only has VGA input so you need a USB-C to VGA adapter”, which neither you or him have on hand.
Then you struggle for the next few minutes trying to find the right adapter or cable (that you know you have in your bag) and you treat the audience to several minutes of fiddling around in your bag talking to yourself and asking your invisible assistant, “where is that cable?”. You’ve worked on it really hard, getting those amazing transitions on your slides, added video and/or sound clips, the perfect (funny) pictures, it’s just an amazing presentation! You are confident, caffeinated, and ready to roll… and when it’s your moment to shine, you can’t connect to the projector. If the issue persists on the external monitor, it may be an issue with the video card (GPU) or video settings and not the laptop LCD panel. Has this ever happened to you? You arrive at your scheduled conference you can’t wait to share your amazing presentation with all the great information you’ve worked on for the past few weeks.
