Needs of screen sharing.

Screen sharing or screen mirroring can be a life saver sometimes. Suppose, a friend of yours doesn’t know how to use Instagram. And he or she lives in another city.

How to share your android screen?

Sharing your android screen is quite easy. All you have to do is install a couple of apps in both of your devices and connect them together. However, there are lots of apps that demand to do that. But some are full of bugs and some don’t work smoothly.In this article, I’ve sorted out the best of those. So here are the top 10 screen sharing apps for android in 2017.

Best Screen Sharing Apps in 2020

Android to android:

These are the apps that allow you to mirror screens between your android devices (phone or tablet). The syncing is done using Bluetooth or WiFi technology. All of these apps can be installed freely from Play store.

1. Inkwire Screen Share + Assist

First in this list isan amazing app from a brilliant developer Koushik Dutta (the guy behind ClockworkMod).Inkwire lets you share your screen or see a shared screen. The best thing about this app is its Minimalist UI design. After opening the app, you can simply choose whether you want to share the screen or access someone else’s. And then match the access code between the two devices. That’s it.

Besides this, the remote user will be able to draw on the screen. This is really useful when someone is helping you out with some issues. You can also have a voice chat with that user.

2. ScreenMeet. Easy Phone Meeting

Just like Inkwire, this app helps you to mirror screen between two android devices. It also allows you to share your screen to your Personal Computer. Besides sharing screen, you can share Presentation slides, Walkthrough websites, demo mobile applications and a lot more. The app is quite convenient for business meetings and project presentations. One negative point, however, is that it lags a bit even in high-speed internet connection. Slow speed during presentations can be a pretty horrible experience. This app is free of cost and available in Play store.

3. Screen Stream Mirroring Free:

As claimed by its creators, this app is one of the most powerful screen sharing apps for android smartphones and tabs. The app doesn’t require your device to be rooted, which is a big plus for this app. The app is available freely in the Play store. But the free version limits your usage time and you have to watch ads to extend it. However, you can remove this barrier by buying the full version.

4. join.me – Simple Meetings

Just another screen sharing meeting app like ScreenMeet. It lets you connect other people in video conferencing and share your screen with them using VoIP.But your device must be running on Android Lollipop or higher in account to use this screen sharing feature. Besides these, you can zoom into the screen shared with you, which is a big thumbs-up. To talk about the cons,the UI is pretty complex for a light android user.

5. SideSync:

The next app is from the smartphone giant Samsung itself. As you may expect, this app lets you share your smartphone’s screen to another android device. Besides, it also helps you to share your android’s display with your PC or Mac.However, the biggest con of this application is that only Samsung devices are compatible with this version.

For that go to Settings > Developer Options > USB debugging (if you don’t see developer options, unlock it by going to About and tapping on Build number 7 times continuously). After that launch the Vysor plugin from Chrome (new tab > chrome://apps). Connect your phone to PC via USB. A prompt will appear on your phone saying – Allow USB debugging? Click on Ok. That’s it.
