Mirror your Android to a Windows PC.
Ocuulo Mirror mirrors an Android phone to a Windows 10 or 11 PC over a USB cable or Wi‑Fi, at up to 2K and up to 120FPS with synced audio — without USB debugging, without root, and without a capture card.
Quick answer
Install Ocuulo Mirror on the PC and the free companion app on the phone. Plug in, tap OK when the phone offers to open Ocuulo, pick Entire screen, tap Cast. No Developer options needed.
Three ways to connect
Without USB debugging Recommended
Plug in and cast. No Developer options. The most stable, lowest-latency picture.
With USB debugging
The classic path if you already use Developer options. Same picture, one extra switch to turn on.
Wi‑Fi
No cable — scan a QR code on the PC or type a PIN. Best for presenting and demos.
Without USB debugging — step by step
One-time setup on the phone
Ocuulo Mirror asks for a few permissions, each with its reason. A ring at the top counts what's left.
- Install Ocuulo Mirror on the PC (sign in with email and a code) and the free companion app on the phone.
- Open the phone app. Display over other apps — find Ocuulo Mirror in the list and switch it on.
- Allow notifications, then Battery → Allow and let it run in the background.
- Microphone — choose While using the app.Android needs it to send your phone's sound. Ocuulo never records your mic.
- Open Manage app if unused and turn it off. In App info → Battery usage choose Allow background activity.So the phone never pauses Ocuulo. Battery use stays normal in practice.
Every time
- Plug the phone into the PC with its USB cable.
- When the phone asks, tap OK — and tick Always open, so it stops asking.
- Pick Entire screen, then tap Cast. You're live.

Over Wi‑Fi
Same Wi‑Fi on both. Open Ocuulo Mirror on the phone and tap Scan QR code, point it at the code on the PC — or tap Start and type the IP and PIN it shows. Wi‑Fi steps and fixes →
Questions
Do I need USB debugging to mirror Android to a PC?
No. Ocuulo Mirror's recommended path needs no USB debugging and no Developer options: install the free companion app, grant its permissions once, plug in, tap OK when the phone offers to open Ocuulo for the USB accessory, then pick Entire screen and tap Cast. USB debugging is available as an alternative if you prefer it.
Do I need to root my Android phone?
No. Ocuulo Mirror uses Android's built-in screen capture, so the phone stays exactly as it is.
What quality do I get when mirroring Android to Windows?
Up to 2K at up to 120FPS on Android, with the phone's audio mirrored and kept in sync. Figures are measured on our hardware; your numbers depend on your phone, your PC and, for Wi‑Fi, your network.
Which Android phones work?
Any Android phone that can run the free Ocuulo Mirror companion app. Brands name their settings differently, so the Help centre has the exact menu names for Samsung, Xiaomi, Realme, OPPO, OnePlus, Vivo, Motorola, Pixel and more.
Why does the mirror stop after a few minutes on Android?
The phone's battery manager paused the app. Allow Ocuulo Mirror to run in the background with no battery restriction, turn off Manage app if unused, and on brands with an Autostart switch turn it on for Ocuulo Mirror. The Help centre shows the exact menu for your brand.
