Mirror Your Android Display to PC
Using Windows Connect (Wireless, only for Windows 10)
Windows 10 users running Windows Windows 10 Anniversary Update or later edition can use the built-in Connect app to mirror phone’s display to PC. Note that the app supports Miracast. Hence you don’t need to install any third-party apps to stream Android device on Windows PC. Once connected, you’ll be able to access your phone’s display on your Windows PC, wirelessly. In our testing, we even got a cursor in the mirror window for controlling the device. And while the overall experience was quite fluid, the cursor navigation system worked only on the home screen, for opening apps by clicking on them.
Using Vysor (Wired; Windows/ macOS/ Linux)
Vysor is one of the simplest ways to stream your phone’s screen on PC, irrespective of whether it is running macOS or an older version of Windows. However, it does involve a number of steps, given below. That’s it. Vysor will now start streaming your phone’s display on your PC. Additionally, you can also control your phone right from your computer. It offers all the navigation buttons including Home, Back, and Recents, followed by options to shut down the device, tweak audio levels, take screenshots or even rotate the screen. To make things quicker, you can set your phone to connect automatically every time you plug it to the computer.
Using AirDroid (Wireless; Windows/ macOS/ Linux)
AirDroid is basically an application that lets you transfer files wirelessly between Windows, Mac, and Chrome OS devices. Besides, it can also allow you to read and reply to notifications on your Android phone right from your PC using the desktop client. That said, the app also offers a screen mirroring feature dubbed as “AirMirror” that works well even on non-rooted phones.
