To show photos or presentations on a bigger screen, mirror your Android phone display to a desktop. It's a very convenient way when there is no PC version of the program from Play Store (e.g. Instagram, WhatsApp etc.). We have tested 5 popular programs to cast your Android screen to a computer. Compare and choose the best tool for yourself.
