How to PROJECT cell phone on PC: View Android screen

We tell you at least three ways to connect, project, share, duplicate, to transmit, O see the cell phone screen on the PC.

Normally you need an APP to project your Android on the PC. There are many applications for this task, so we have listed only the best ones. They allow you to establish the connection via USB cable and some wirelessly via WiFi.

If you have a Windows 10 computer, you will be able to see the phone on the PC without installing additional applications.

APPS to project Android on PC

Vysor

Perhaps the best application to view the cell phone on the PC. You can even control the cell phone with the computer mouse and keyboard, even with keyboard shortcuts.

In addition to having a good operation, it has remote support. That is, you can share your cell phone screen with a person on the other side of the world if you want.

It has a paid version that offers high image quality and even wireless connection.

Solo install the mobile app on the cell phone and follow the steps indicated. You will be asked to install the software on the PC. Previously enable USB debugging on Android. If your PC is Windows, you must also install the mobile USB drivers.

Scrcpy

This open source utility offers virtually everything that Vysor offers and even more, without paying a single penny and without having to watch advertising.

For example, you can configure it to work wirelessly or without a USB cable, as well as record the screen of the cell phone while you are watching it on the PC.

To configure scrcpy you will have to do the following:

1. Install Minimal ADB on your computer.
2. Download the scrcpy ZIP file and extract it into the same Minimal ADB folder.
3. Run the minimal ADB (double click on the cmd-here.exe file) and enter the command scrcpy

If you did the official installation of ADB, you will have to open a command window in the folder where you extracted the ZIP and similarly enter “scrcpy” to see the window of your cell phone on the PC.

If this tool is not at the top of this list it is only due to the issue of its configuration through ADB, which may be unfamiliar to some.

AirDroid

A very popular APP to integrate your Android cell phone with your PC. That includes the ability to project the mobile screen onto the computer, among many other things.

With AirDroid you can completely control your mobile from your PC, through your desktop client or even from your browser, through web.airdroid.com.

To project your Android on the PC you must use AirDroid’s AirMirror function. As in the previous case, you must activate USB debugging and driver installation (only if it is a Windows PC).

Setting up this app is easier if the device is rooted. However, it can also be done without root. Programmers offer a step by step explanation here.

Other

Mobizen is another application with a concept similar to AirDroid.

SideSync It is the software that you should try if you have a Samsung device.

Over time we have collected other names of apps with a similar purpose. For example, Ashot, Droid Explorer, BBQ Screen Remote (which boasts no lag or latency), Android Screencast and DroidScreen. Currently these apps have lagged behind or out of date with respect to those mentioned above.

See cell phone screen on PC without APPS

This is an exclusive possibility for a PC with Windows 10. This operating system has a native option to view Android on the PC. It means that it works without installing applications and you will be able to project the cell phone screen on the PC immediately.

The computer must be in visible mode so that the cell phone can find it. This is done from the “Connect” option in Windows 10. Just type “conectar » or “connect” in the search box.

The final step is to tap on the option Cast Screen of the Android cell phone. In a modern Samsung Galaxy, you have to lower the notification bar and touch the option Smart View. On other Android phones, this option may be called To transmit simply. The name of the computer should appear and you will have to touch on it to see the cell phone screen on that PC.
