Typically you need some software to "stream" the camera's live view to the
projector. It could be in macOS already or may need to install something.

What model mac? See under About Mac. 

Can you post links to pictures of what the connector looks like? It sounds
like it could be VGA which is rare to find in projectors nowadays.

Yes, that's typical these days. As projectors are often ceiling mounted
and/or inaccessible, all the A/V connectors are present at the lecturn and
you choose the one that suits you. HDMI is the ubiquitous one. 

How modern is the protector? If it's modern you may be able to use Airplay.
