        • MediaPad M5 Lite does not support wired projection, so a Type-C to HDMI will not be compatible. Still, it does support wireless projection. The other device must support Miracast or have a wireless HMDI adapter. To enable it, just go to [Settings > More connections > Easy Projection] and enable [Wireless projection]. Touch the name of the external display or the wireless HDMI adapter on the search result list to start projecting. Thanks.
