A lot of phones don't have video over the USB C port (eg Google Pixels).

Pixel 5 does. I tried with one recently and noted it only does mirroring, unlike Samsung and Huawei which launch some pseudo desktop OS when plugged in.

Wait, you got video out working with the 2020 Pixel 5? First I'm hearing of this.

Which adapter did you use?
