Mirror Your Screen with Ease: Top 6 Screen Mirroring Apps for Android/iOS
0Screen mirroring is not the most popular application for mobile devices. However, such a technology has a wide range of niche applications. Some people prefer it for streaming purposes. Others use it for technical support. Whatever the reason, we hope we can help. Here are the top six screen mirroring and screencasting apps, as well as some alternative options.
Number 6. Vysor
Vysor is a good option for screen mirroring your phone to your computer. It pairs your phone with your computer using a Chrome extension and the Android app. It then mirrors your phone's screen on your computer. There are some limitations to this. To use it, for example, you must have Chrome or a Chrome-based browser. Aside from that, there appear to be bugs that are dependent on the user's configuration. It worked well in our testing, but it may not work well for everyone. It's free, so there's no harm in giving it a shot.
Number 5. Microsoft Remote Desktop
Microsoft Remote Desktop is similar to Chrome Remote Desktop. In fact, it does the same thing. It displays your computer's desktop. The app works with Windows Professional and Server editions. It also works well for video and audio streaming if necessary. It is completely free, with no in-app purchases or advertisements. Since Google discontinued support for Chrome Remote Desktop, Windows users should probably use this one. It's a little glitchy and buggy, and we hope Micorosft cleans it up over time.
Number 4. AirDroid
AirDroid is an excellent app that improves communication between your phone and PC. It allows you to transfer files between your phone and PC, respond to phone notifications on your computer, remote control your Android phone from your computer, and, yes, even screen mirroring. The screen mirroring feature performs admirably. In fact, it's one of the few options that doesn't require your phone and computer to be on the same network. Both devices, however, require the AirDroid app to be installed. The service costs $3.99 per month or $29.99 per year, and it's well worth it if you require this level of device integration.
Number 3. Link to Windows
Microsoft's Your Phone Companion app is fantastic. It still has some bugs, but it does more than many Android apps for connecting your phone to Windows. You can view photos, respond to texts, make phone calls (on PCs with Bluetooth), and, yes, cast your screen once connected. In fact, you can either cast your screen normally or launch an Android app that also activates the screencasting mode. Even on phones that have it built in, such as Samsung devices, Your Phone Companion is still a little buggy. However, when it works, it's a fantastic screen mirroring solution.
Number 2. TeamViewer Remote Control
TeamViewer is a popular screen mirroring app. This one is primarily for diagnostic purposes. If necessary, you can consult desktop computers or other mobile devices. It supports HD video and audio transmission, 256-bit AES encryption, and file transfers between both devices. It also supports Mac, Windows, and Linux natively. That's great news. Individuals can use the app for free. Those who run businesses have several payment options.
and Finally Number 1. Google Home
Google Home is the app for Google Nest products, Chromecast, and other Google devices. With this app and a Chromecast, you can directly cast your screen from your device to your TV. It actually works very well. However, for most use cases, such as streaming video, native apps are preferable to screen mirroring. Still, if you need your phone screen to appear on a TV, this is a great solution. To make this work, you must first purchase a Chromecast. At the very least, the app is free, and it did not crash or cause any major problems during our testing.
