How to share remote control with a code

Sharing with a code lets you hand this computer or an Android phone to someone for a while. You choose whether they can control it or only view it and for how long, then send them the link or code. They open it in the browser on a phone or computer — no LaiCai account and no software needed.

Before you start

  • To share a computer, it needs active Premium; to share an Android phone, the Premium of the computer it is linked to applies
  • Remote control is turned on for the computer or phone you share, and it stays on and online
  • The other person only needs a browser — no account or install

Share this computer

1

Turn on remote control

Open LaiCai Screen Mirroring, choose Tools → Control Helpers → Remote Control This Computer, and switch on “Allow remote control from other devices”. On macOS, Screen Recording and Accessibility must also be granted; see “How to remotely control this computer”.

2

Create a code

In “Share with a code” in the same window, choose “Can control” or “View only”, pick a duration — 30 minutes, 1 hour, 4 hours, 24 hours, or “No time limit” — and click “Create code”.

3

Send it

Click “Copy link” or “Copy code” and send it through any chat app. To end early, click “Stop sharing”.

Back in Settings, tap “Share with a code”, choose “Can control” or “View only” and a duration, then tap “Create code”.

6

Send it

Tap “Send link” to send it with a chat app on the phone, or use “Copy link” or “Copy code”. To end early, tap “Stop sharing”.

Open the link or enter the code

Opening the link starts the connection right away. With only the code, open the “Enter the code” page on laicaiapp.com, type the 8-character code (for example K7QM-4XPD), and select “Connect”.

View or control

For a computer, the controls are the same as in “How to remotely control this computer”. For a phone, tap and swipe on the screen; the bottom buttons are Back, Home, Recents, Full screen, and “Disconnect”. With “View only”, only the screen is shown.

Safety and ending a share

  • Each computer or phone has only one active code at a time. Creating a new code ends the old one immediately and disconnects anyone using it.
  • “Stop sharing” disconnects the other person immediately. A code with a duration stops working when it expires; a “No time limit” code works until you stop sharing.
  • Turning off remote control, signing out, or quitting LaiCai Screen Mirroring stops the shares created on that computer; turning off “Allow remote control” on a phone stops its share too.
  • Someone with “View only” sees the screen but cannot tap or type.
  • After too many code attempts from the same network in a short time, they need to wait 10 minutes before trying again.
