Streaming Service

If you are using a streaming service, like YouTube, Netflix, Amazon, Hulu, or others, you do not need to have special software on your computer, nor do you need to stream these services from your phone to your computer again. It's best to simply visit the webpage directly on your computer using your browser.

In most cases, just type in the name of the service with .com at the end in your browser, then press enter or return.

Screencasting

Screencasting is taking what is displayed on your Android device, and showing it directly on your computer screen. We have a guide to screencasting your mobile device to your computer available.
