Android screen mirroring has gone underrated for quite an extended period. It is because either not many people are aware of it or they just don’t want to deal with the hassle. Now, there are hundreds of screen mirroring apps through which you can display Android on your PC.
What is Screen Mirroring?
Screen Mirroring is a way through which you can remotely share/mirror one device screen to another, such as mirroring Android Screen on your PC or vice-versa. At present, we’ll be talking about screen mirroring on Android.
A phone screen on PC can help you in many ways. For instance, it removes that extra step of grabbing device for every new notification; If you are a developer, you can check app performance on the Android phone mockup; Sharing media files to PC also becomes very easy.
Here are a few ways on how to Share/Mirror Android screen on Your PC. There are a bunch of popular methods to tackle this, so we have listed out each one of it –
Prerequisite for screen mirroring
For screen mirroring apps to work, it is necessary that you turn on USB debugging which is located in the developer options of your Android device.
To enable Developer options on your Android Device –
Head over to your Android Settings ⇒ System ⇒ About Phone
Scroll down and tap Build Number five times
Go back to System settings

Mobizen is very similar to Vysor screen mirroring app for Android; only it’s much better. The best thing about Mobizen is that the basic features are free to use. They include mirroring form a web browser like Chrome, controlling device via keyboard/mouse, transferring and viewing files on PC and so much more.
Apart from that, mirroring on Mobizen shows a sophisticated Android device render on the PC. You can set up screen transparency (ghost mode) and even add push notifications on a paid subscription.
