LaiCai
Show the actual phone screen in your desktop workspace
A browser preview or a separate emulator may not reproduce what is on your phone. Mirroring brings that device's live display to the computer, so you can demonstrate the installed app, explain a setting, or capture a sequence of actions.
- Display the app and device state already on your Android phone.
- Keep a phone demo visible beside your notes or support conversation.
- Capture screenshots or recordings without filming the phone with another camera.
- Use mouse and keyboard control when the demo needs more than viewing.
- Add device groups when you need to work with multiple connected phones.

USB mirroring
A practical starting point at a desk, where you can connect the phone directly to the computer.
Check for a data-capable cable and the phone's authorization prompt. Charging is not evidence that screen mirroring is connected.Wi-Fi mirroring
Useful when cable placement gets in the way and your phone and network support the connection workflow.
Follow the connection guide and test the intended network. Wireless conditions can affect the display; do not assume a successful USB setup proves Wi-Fi will work.A separate Android environment
Useful when you want an independent emulator instance on your computer.
It has its own app installation and state. To show what is happening on a specific physical phone, mirror that phone instead.FAQ
Android screen mirroring: setup and troubleshooting
How can I mirror my Android phone to a PC?
Install LaiCai, enable USB debugging on the phone, connect a data-capable USB cable, and approve the computer on the phone. Select the device and open its screen. Check that a visible change on the phone also appears in the desktop window.
Follow the connection guideIs screen mirroring the same as controlling Android?
Mirroring displays the phone screen. Control also sends mouse or keyboard input back to the phone. LaiCai supports both; check input separately if your task requires it.
Control Android from PCCan I mirror Android to a Mac?
Yes. LaiCai supports Windows and macOS. Use the Android connection guide to authorize the computer and open the phone screen.
Why is my phone charging but no screen appears?
Check USB debugging, unlock the phone, and look for an authorization prompt. Try a known data cable and a different USB port. If the device appears but the screen fails, record that distinction before troubleshooting; detection and video display are separate checks.
Why does a video app show a black area?
Some apps protect parts of their display from capture. Check whether the home screen and another ordinary app mirror correctly. If only protected content is blank, do not treat it as proof that the entire connection failed. LaiCai does not promise to bypass app capture restrictions.
Can I record the mirrored screen or use Wi-Fi?
LaiCai includes screen recording and supports Wi-Fi connection workflows described in the connection guide. Verify the app you want to capture and test your actual network before a demo. Results depend on the device, app, and connection.
