How can I display or view Android screen on PC via wifi or usb?

Hi everyone, I want to display and view my Android phone screen directly on my PC (Windows 11), but I'm not sure what the best method is. I’d like to see my phone screen on my computer monitor, idea...

For your Pixel 9A on Android 16, if you are going to view Android screen on PC. App-Scrcpy is likely your best bet — it's lightweight, has audio support, and requires no ADB or USB cable after initial setup. If you want to avoid installing anything on your phone, try Miracast first — many modern Pixels support it, and it's completely built into Windows.

Enable Wireless Display on Windows 11:

  • Open Settings > System > Projecting to this PC
  • Change the first dropdown to "Available everywhere on secure networks"
  • Optionally require a PIN for pairing
  • Install the Wireless Display feature if prompted

 

On your Pixel 9A (Android 16):

  • Swipe down twice to open Quick Settings
  • Tap Screen Cast (or Cast depending on your ROM)
  • Select your PC from the list of available devices

 

Your phone and PC must be connected to the same Wi-Fi network for Miracast to work. This method is completely free to view Android screen on PC, built into Windows, and requires no additional software on either device.
