Sadly googles pixel phones dont support vesa displayport alternate mode a standard that is found on googles pixel c and chromebook pixel. Pixel 2 and miracast after migrating from an lg g6 to a pixel 2 device i was very happy with the device until i found out that miracast is disabled on it. Mirror your screen to a pc 1. So googles android only supports screen mirroring to google cast devices. Its a shame and hopefully google will add this functionality in future devices. I also find miracast isnt as stable compared to chromecast when screen casting as miracast protocol hasnt been improved in years.
On your pixel open the google home app. Some devices dont support cast screen and may be this app will dont working app only support android from 42 and above. I was even more miffed to know the reason was to support the chromecast and google home product lines. What about usb c to hdmi. Not without an independent wifi connection.
