I connect phone to USB port and select USB but the MOVIE button showing from my projector does nothing. None of the other button respond either. Can’t even figure out how to show my iPhone screen much less watch a movie.

To connect your phone to the projecter, you will need to buy a Lightning to HDMI adapter, which you can buy here or here. The USB port on the side is for plugging a USB drive in to the projecter.
