Use scrcpy - <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;Genymobile&#x2F;scrcpy" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;Genymobile&#x2F;scrcpy</a><p>The Windows thing is only for Samsung&#x27;s latest phones.

Only supports some Samsung models, not Android in general.<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;support.microsoft.com&#x2F;en-us&#x2F;help&#x2F;4551890&#x2F;supported-devices-for-your-phone-experiences" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;support.microsoft.com&#x2F;en-us&#x2F;help&#x2F;4551890&#x2F;supported-d...</a>

Couple of interesting observations.<p>1. Audio streaming is not currently supported. I wonder if that is a design feature, or a temporary technical limitation? If so it certainly limits the range of applications.<p>2. They show Netflix, but anyone who is required to implement standard DRM schemes will likely need to block this functionality from their apps to keep legal teams &amp; licensees happy.<p>3. It appears that clicks are not translated into touch events. Curious if this will cause some strange behavior or mostly &quot;just work&quot; like iOS simulator.<p>Seems neat, but leaves me really scratching my head to figure out the &quot;killer app&quot; for this.

&quot;Tap into the power of Your Phone app with Link to Windows integration on select Samsung devices to instantly access your phone’s mobile apps directly from your Windows 10 PC.&quot;

I wonder if you could create the feature using a emulated android phone... that would be cool!

That&#x27;s NOT something new. It&#x27;s called Link to Windows and it&#x27;s a service provided by Samsung about a year now.
