Lightroom teather of D3300?

I'm just reading through the first part of "The Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 6 Book", and I came across teathering. I connected up my Nikon, turned it on and loaded Lightroom. I can see the D3300 in the import menu, and upon import, Lightroom offers to import the contents of my SD card in the camera. So the interface works.
Book talks about Canon, so I opened up my User and Reference manuals, and searched for teather. Not found. Also opened up the same two manuals for the D5500, not found.
So did I miss something, or is teathering only for the pro Nikons?
Thanks.

The D3300 is not a higher level camera than the D5500, nor is it pro level. Must be some other reason. The D3300 however does seem unique in things like the panoramic in camera feature, etc.

It might work better if you spell it tether.

Sorry about the spelling. Still no reference in the manuals.
Google search hasn't found a answer yet.
Guess I can't edit title at this time.

You can't tether a D3300 to a computer but you can tether it to a stand alone monitor or a TV set. With some monitors you can tether direct using a cable with the mini hdmi to the camera and an hdmi or DVI pug for the TV or monitor. I found I needed to use an upscale box like the one I use to connect my Wii to my TV to watch Netflix. Nikon doesn't document this capability, so I created a Youtube video to show how it worked with my D3100 (ought to work the dame on the D3300).

I used it for video, but works the same for still shots.
Now that I have a D7000 I can tether to the computer direct using the free DigiCam Control program.

I didn't know the D3300 works with Digi Cam Control (the D3100 didn't).
Digi Cam Control is the best solution.

I've been able to connect my D3300 up to my small and large Samsung TVs with a mini HDMI to HDMI cable. Easy way to view pictures on camera, or do film and slide copy.
What I was hoping to do was tether camera to PC and immediately have Lightroom import the pictures being shot into a folder on the PC and also into Lightroom.
I'll go through the D7200 manuals (maybe my next body), and see what they say about tethering.
Thanks for the reply.

Just downloaded and installed Tethertalk. Fantastic! VERY quick to learn, I could immediately shoot stills, time lapse, video (not that I much need it) and play around with camera settings!
Sure, it's not tether to Lightroom, but it'll allow me to run my Bowens Illumitran, and control the camera on the focusing rail I intend to build. Maybe they can write a module for Lightroom!
Could use a handshake to the stepper motor controller for focus stacking (my rail), but how could they have guessed that! Maybe they do snapshot.
I'm excited!
Thanks for the link!

When you put teather into Google search you get some lady that was in Parliament in England. That sure as H*** isn't hooking a camera up to a computer now is it?
