hey I'm Ben from authentech and today I'll be showing you how to remotely view
and control your android phone or tablet from any PC or Mac for free and without
root let's jump right in so I'm always accessing my phone remotely from my
computer like transferring files back and forth or text messaging from my
desktop and I use tools like pushbullet and AirDroid and they each have their
own unique helpful features however neither
unfortunately offers a way to wirelessly mirror my Android phone screen to my
computer with full control and without root or tethering which is key seriously
who does that anymore so I went out on a hunt to find a better solution and I
found it it's actually simple and easy setup plus free you probably even heard
of it the app and service is called TeamViewer and they've been around for a
long time know this video is not sponsored I just like their product now
step 1 download TeamViewer to your desktop or laptop Windows Mac and Lennox
are all supported create your account and sign in next download the TeamViewer
host app to your Android device as for iOS and iPhones I tried and the TLDR
Apple stinks it's to lockdown and you can only remotely view the screen but
not remotely control it which is a shame now onto your Android open the host app
sign in with your same login credentials and bam that's about it so check this
out even with my android screen turned off from my Mac I can launch remote
control and it auto starts up on my phone and now I'm in totally seamless
from here I can navigate throughout my phone clicking and dragging on the mouse
are like finger swipes typing on my keyboard transfers over as well video
and photos screen captures have never been easier maybe you need a quick and
fast baby or security camera just mount your phone launch the camera app and I
was quite surprised the video feed lag time to my computer was very minimal
another feature I could use every day file transfer here I could move files
back and forth between my computer and mobile device I'm always shooting clips
on my phone for my YouTube viz and this could be a fast and easy to way to move
those original 4k high res files over to my Mac and then
video edit in Final Cut it also make it uber fast for me to transfer photos and
videos over to my phone and then I could create my Instagram post all from my
computer the app also features Universal copy/paste clipboard uninstall apps you
can access TeamViewer from a browser or Chrome App and so much more
also remember two key items first you do not need to be on the same Wi-Fi network
for this to work I could be gone at a coffee shop leave my phone at home and
remotely access it from anywhere and second this is all cross-platform and
can be used in reversal meaning let's say I'm out and about with just my phone
but I need to access and control my home computer well that can easily be done as
well now you can get really creative here and there's endless possibilities
for example here I have a me box running Android TV hooked up to my 4k vizio i
side loaded the hosts apk file connected from my desktop and unfortunately the
app only allows me to remote view the TV box but this could be helpful in unknown
ways maybe you want to keep an eye on what your kids are watching on the TV
maybe from your computer easy peasy small caveat though it sometimes lags
out another thing you could do here is turn on storage permissions for the host
app and now remotely access the Android TVs files this is an easy way to
transfer over apks or movies or whatever to the local storage on the Android box
I tried multiple ways of remote controlling the Android TV but after a
bit of research it doesn't seem like this is very easy with the me box or
shield unless you root the device but that
looks pretty complicated and we'll save that for a whole other video oh and I
also tried this on my Roku TCL TV but it's super lockdown and not running on
top of Android just a lennox based OS just FYI over all the possibilities and
ideas are endless and I want to hear from you guys what other cool and unique
ideas and implementations have you seen or done before I'll give you all the
download links down in the description if you're new around here subscribe and
