I made Deskreen, open source app to make any device a second screen for computer

Does anyone have a recommendation if I want to do the reverse, i.e. share my Android screen in a PC window (Windows)?

A quick Google search reveals that there are options, does anyone have any experience doing that?

Ideally I'd like to mirror an app view to a PC window regardless whether the android display is turned off or even the app is in the background. Not sure if that's even possible on a non-rooted android.

Nice one! But still not cross platform.

I mean not cross platform for mobile devices. I was thinking on doing something like Deskreen but with React Native for mobile. But found that technology is not there yet.

I literally did this earlier today. Funny coincidence. I'm using Vysor[0]. Worked out of the box for me. If you aren't pro, the display quality leaves some to be desired, but it works fine for me to make Android dev on hardware a bit more comfortable. It requires the device be unlocked though. It even has a web interface that uses WebUSB. I didn't try it, but seems like a neat option.

Depending on how technical you are / your audience is: Vysor or scrcpy. Vysor used to be a free chrome extension, but alas, no longer. https://fossbytes.com/android-screen-mirroring-apps-pc/

Anybody who wants to this with Linux: scrcpy uses adb(turn on usb debug) und works like a charm

I was thinking of doing a Deskreen for mobile and tablets to do exact same thing, but technology is not there yet for React Native.

Things may change in future

couldn't find out how to connect screen recorder on mobile with Webrtc in React Native. Maybe someone already did that?
