How to check if your phone, laptop can stream video over its USB Type C port?

Published On 06/16/2022 12:02 PM by QZ Support
Not all USB Type C ports are same. USB-C port is just a connector shape. An USB-C port belongs to a specific USB version (USB 2.0, 3.0, 3.1, 3.2) and hence has predefined features and capabilities. Only USB-C port with USB 3.1 or above version can stream video.

USB 3.1 or above versions support DP Alt Mode feature. This feature enables them to stream video signal.  You need to confirm if your device's USB Type C port is with USB 3.1 or above version before trying USB Type C to HDMI/VGA applications. To do this, check your device's specifications or consult the manufacturer.

Here is a ready refference list of devices which DO SUPPORT video stream over USB Type C.
