Mirror pc screen to android

Well, my first thought would be using the chrome remote access tool https://remotedesktop.google.com

I have been using it for work to gain quick access to my desktop remotely

Spacedesk is perfect for you

Curious which programs you're checking on, as there may be a status web page you can access remotely, or even create your own dashboard to view this info quickly without having to interact w/ the desktop. Might be complete overkill though as we're dealing with a laptop and disparate video renders or something here...

Here's a list of programs I have/currently use[d] for this purpose:

####NoMachine

• - Requires server agent to be running on host. Free for personal use.
• + Lots of options w/ render protocols, auth, etc. Basically VNC on steroids. Also works more like VNC than RDP, as user sessions don't get in your way.
• + Prob my fav overall, as it works well with media streaming, esp on headless hosts (I use it to check an NDI ingress OBS VM for stream issues). I started using it years ago after having issues with RDP/VNC when needing HW video support.
• - My only gripe is that it doesn't support controlling Android devices remotely (last I checked), which I've been using ScrCpy for instead. I also just came across OpenSTF which looks exciting but it's prob overkill for most. Remote control of Android isn't very common, so I can't really mark it as a negative.

####Microsoft RDP

• + Doesn't require any additional software (assuming you're running Windows).
• You may need/want to tweak some GPO settings for terminal services (MSTSC) for quality of life regarding concurrent sessions/etc, but it should mostly work out of the box.
• Their Android app is solid, but you'll just be getting one-way functionality (phone to PC) unless you have a Samsung that supports their newer phone companion features (such as remote display/control).

####Unified Remote

• - Requires server agent to be running on host.
• + Lots of functionality in addition to the ability to simply view a server's monitor.
• + I use this separately for a lot of things, such as WoL, turning monitors on/off w/ automation, controlling media playback, executing remote commands, etc. Pairs very well with Tasker, EventGhost, etc.

####SpaceDesk

• - Requires server agent to be running on host. Free for personal use (until it's out of beta).
• + Enables you to mirror/extend your PC's display to an Android phone/tablet over USB/wireless.
• + Great tool for making use of extra Android devices laying around as extra screens. I have a crappy 10" tablet, for ex, that can't stream video in apps (was about to toss it), but works well as an extra display for my laptop w/ this.
• + Allows you to use touch-screen / multi-touch on device to interact with PC.

####VNC Server/Viewer

• - Requires VNC server to be running on host.
• + I mention this option since your main goal is to simply view your laptop's screen. There are a lot of options in this category, but be sure to pick a VNC 'flavor' that works with HW Accel graphics / OpenGL / etc, or you may have issues viewing your render app remotely.
• This would be my last option, as each 'flavor' of VNC comes with its own peculiarities, and may cause some unforeseen headaches.

####AnyDesk

• - Requires server agent to be running on host. Free for personal use.
• + Multiplatform bi-directional support (e.g. allowing you to control phone from PC).
• - Lots of options for other uses, such as a dedicated address to use for remote support a la TeamViewer. I'm putting this as a negative as it opens up additional attack vectors, requiring you to ensure the correct ports are open/closed locally/externally, that you fine-tune their extremely convoluted permission systems, yada yada. I'm always skeptical of software like this after I experienced TeamViewer's unreported security failings firsthand, when someone took control of my PC while in use via my (unique-password protected, non-public) TeamViewer service.
• ❗ I'm only putting this app on the list, since I seem to be the only one experiencing issues (and had high hopes for it myself). Definitely give it a shot, but keep the potential security risks I've mentioned in mind.

for windows and if you're computer literate you can use the free option,

you can setup "view only" mode and use any VNC capable app. on MAC you can just use any VNC app and google screen sharing.

if you need remote access (outside your local network), just setup a static ip and open ports on your router. test locally through your phone's cellular hotspot.

Unified remote. One of the best purchases I ever did. Screen mirroring doesn't work on Linux but it works great on Windows, plus it includes a myriad of other features.
