what's going on youtube jsn right here
0:02
in today's video i'm going to
0:03
demonstrate how you can screencast your
0:05
iphone or android using airdroid cast a
0:08
program that allows you to connect your
0:09
device to your computer and share your
0:11
screen for presentation purposes or you
0:14
know for recording purposes and stuff
0:16
like that and it actually supports
0:17
multiple protocols including wireless
0:19
lan airplay and even through a cable you
0:21
can even screen cast to a wireless
0:24
network local or remote so you can be
0:26
here and screencast to a screen far away
0:29
in a different city or different country
0:31
the program can be downloaded from here
0:32
it's called airdroid cast and it can be
0:36
airdroid.com there's a free trial
0:38
available but there's also a premium
0:39
plan now this is primarily useful for
0:41
school purposes or company purposes if
0:43
you want to do a presentation at school
0:45
or uni or work and it's actually very
0:48
easy to use and you can do any sort of
0:50
online presentation you can even control
0:52
your device directly through it so
0:54
that's actually quite great so let's see
0:56
it in action now basically with this
0:58
program you can cast your macos device
1:00
screen your windows screen your ios or
1:03
your android screen so it supports
1:05
computers as well as mobile devices so
1:07
let's use the program first i have the
1:09
programming here on mac os and i would
1:11
basically want to cast my phone screen
1:13
to do that all i have to do is to
1:15
install the application airdroid cast
1:17
from the app store or google play and of
1:19
course open it once you open it you can
1:21
start casting by scanning the qr code
1:24
over there so i'm scanning it right now
1:26
and it's just connecting to the server
1:28
once you connect it's going to ask you
1:29
if you want to actually cast that screen
1:31
i'm going to press allow all right so as
1:33
you can see at this point the device is
1:35
now connected and the application is
1:37
showing in there this is the application
1:39
you can share device sound if you want
1:41
to you can connect the microphone or you
1:42
can pause the casting and so on and show
1:44
everything on your device so for example
1:47
if i want to cast let's say a web page
1:49
that i want to present to people like
1:50
this youtube help page over here is very
1:52
simple to do yes there's a little bit of
1:55
delay between when you scroll and when
1:57
it shows up in there if you do it
1:58
wirelessly but it's still good for
2:00
presentation purposes but here with
2:02
cable as you can see you can go even up
2:04
to 1080p for ios and 1080p for android
2:08
and the frame rate is much better with
2:10
cable so i'm going to go ahead and
2:11
connect the device through the cable you
2:13
can see right now there is a little bit
2:15
of delay when i try to use it because
2:17
right now i'm connected via wireless but
2:19
let's see with cable alright so i have
2:21
connected the device to the computer now
2:23
with a cable so let's see if it's better
2:26
i'm gonna go with cable here select the
2:27
device and it's now connecting to that
2:29
device and um yeah as you can see it's
2:32
actually much smoother and much better
2:33
so if you want to screencast for example
2:36
a game the cable would be a better
2:38
alternative and you can see it's now
2:39
casting using the cable now the
2:41
application itself as i said you're
2:43
going to need an application you can
2:44
find it by searching for airdroid cast
2:47
over here and there are two applications
2:48
airdroid file transfer and airdroid cast
2:51
the airdroid cast this one over here is
2:53
the one that you need so once you have
2:55
it you will be able to connect but you
2:56
don't actually need the application if
2:58
you want to cast with a cable but for
3:01
wireless casting you are going to need
3:02
the application now something important
3:04
i would like to mention is that if you
3:06
rotate the screen for example like this
3:08
it will rotate in there automatically so
3:10
you can do a presentation no problem and
3:13
have a powerpoint or a keynote on the
3:15
screen and it will be perfectly fine in
3:18
there once you return back to portrait
3:19
mode it's going to rotate automatically
3:21
in there as well but that's not actually
3:24
all if you go ahead in here on their
3:26
website you don't even need the
3:28
application if you want the screencast
3:30
you can screencast directly to the web
3:32
there is the airdroid cast web over here
3:34
and as you can see it gives you a qr
3:36
code but you can open the application
3:38
and of course you can scan the qr code
3:41
which i'm going to do and your device
3:42
will actually connect automatically
3:44
inside the browser so you can screencast
3:47
your screen to the browser with no
3:49
problem as you can see what i'm doing in
3:51
here now now it's going to take a few
3:53
seconds before the screen resolution
3:55
will be better and it's definitely
3:57
slower than cable but in order to
3:59
present something to you know show a
4:00
presentation or stuff like that it's
4:02
going to work fine and here it supports
4:04
rotating the screen as well as you can
4:07
see from here so we can do a
4:08
presentation with no issue directly in
4:11
the browser which is definitely great
4:13
but what about android what if you have
4:15
an android device well you can
4:17
screencast that with no problem as well
4:19
i have connected my android device with
4:21
a cable now to the computer and as you
4:23
can see it shows in there
4:25
lgh870 so if i press on it it's going to
4:27
connect directly to the device and i
4:29
will be able to screencast this device
4:31
in a couple of seconds and there we go
4:33
as you can see it's actually quite okay
4:35
we can open these settings no problem
4:37
and yes as you can see everything is
4:39
fine and it's smooth so i would be able
4:41
to screencast anything i want really the
4:43
application is also available in the
4:45
play store if you want to get it but
4:46
yeah it's definitely easy to screencast
4:48
the android device as well and if you
4:50
want to control it you can press here on
4:52
this little hand and at this point
4:54
you're now able to control the device
4:56
with your mouse as you can see from here
4:58
it actually controls the device with my
5:00
mouse i open settings in here i press on
5:03
these settings and it opens the settings
5:05
i press here on the search bar so now i
5:07
can actually use my computer keyboard in
5:09
order to type for example let's say
5:12
display on the keyboard as you can see
5:15
every time i type on my keyboard it
5:17
actually goes ahead and types on the
5:20
phone without even touching the device
5:22
so um yeah that's actually how it works
5:24
you can control your device no problem
5:27
so yeah you can do a presentation you
5:28
can control the device and there's
5:30
multiple things you can do you can even
5:32
turn off the screen if you want to and
5:34
only have it here on the presentation
5:36
here are the android buttons for going
5:38
home or for opening the application
5:40
launcher you can do so directly from
5:42
here close all the applications like
5:45
that and even pin the applications you
5:47
can do anything you do normally on your
5:49
touchscreen so that's actually useful if
5:51
your device has a bad display that was
5:53
cracked or you know it's no longer
5:55
working because this way you can
5:56
actually navigate the device as long as
5:58
it powers on and you can get your photos
6:00
contacts and so on from the broken
6:02
device so that's basically how you do it
6:04
that's how you screen cast your display
6:06
with the airdroid cast there's a free
6:08
trial available so definitely check it
6:09
out in the link below thank you for
6:11
watching i'm just now peace out
