There may be several reasons for this like wanting to record your screen, play android games on your PC, watch movies or videos on a bigger screen, or even giving a presentation of an app or a document directly from your Android device.
No matter what the reason is, it is relatively easy to cast your android screen to PC regardless of whether your android device is rooted or not. In case you are wondering, here are a few such apps that let you mirror or cast your android screen to PC.
All apps come with a free version, do not require ROOT and works with both PC and MAC OS (except the #2 app).

Cast Your Android Screen to Computer

1. Vysor

Vysor is a relatively new app to quickly mirror, cast or even control your Android device from the PC or Mac. Unlike the other apps, Vysor uses a Chrome app to cast your Android device to the computer. Some of the features of Vysor include but not limited to mirroring the Android screen to the computer, ability to take screenshots, ability to control your Android device with keyboard and mouse, etc.
How it works: Gettings started with Vysor is simple. Just head over to the official site, install Vysor Chrome app, install Vysor app on your Android device, connect your device to the computer via USB and launch the Vysor app in Chrome. That’s it; you are successfully casting your Android screen to your computer.
Pros: Quick to Setup and easy to use. Let’s you control your Android screen from the computer.
Cons: The free version works with USB cable only, no WiFi support. Though there is no watermark, it shows video ads every 30 minutes or so.
Bottom Line: The free version of Vysor is limited in features but should be good enough if you are comfortable using a USB cable to connect your Android and Computer.

2. Using Connect App in Windows 10

If you are using a Miracast capable Windows 10 computer with the Aniversary update, then you don’t have to use any third-party apps to cast the Android screen to your computer. Kind of like, how you connect your Android with chromecast on your TV.
How it work: Just search for and launch the “Connect” app from Windows 10 start menu. Now, bring down the notification center on your Android device and select the option “Cast.” You will see a list of all the devices that you can cast your Android device. Simply select your PC from the list, and you are good to go.
Pros: You don’t need to install any third-party software
Cons: Only available on computers running Windows 10 Aniversary update.
Bottom Line: Of course, the Connect app in Windows 10 is pretty limited, and you cannot control your device from the app. However, if you are simply looking to watch some movies, pictures or give presentations, then the built-in Connect app in Windows 10 is not bad.

3. Mobizen

Mobizen is one of the complete apps that not only casts your Android device to a computer but also lets you record the screen, control, take screenshots, and play media directly from your browser or a standalone software on your PC. This app is just like Vysor but better as it lets you remotely control your device by connecting it via the USB cable, over a WiFi network and even over your mobile data.
How it works:  Install the Mobizen app on your Android, and create a free account. Now go their official website from your computer, log in with the same credentials, in the next screen you’ll see six digit OTP, type that code in your Mobizen Android app and that’s it.
Pros: Support mirroring over WiFi and mobile data, even in the free version. It also works directly on the browser, no need to install any app on the computer.
Cons: The free version comes with a watermark.
Bottom Line: If you are looking to play games or give interactive presentations from your Android mobile, then Mobizen is for you. The good thing about this app is that it even lets you share files between your Android device and PC just by dragging and dropping.

4. Screen Recording and Mirror with AllCastRecevier

How it works: Install Screen Recording and Mirror on your Android smartphone or tablet, next install the AllCast Receiver Chrome app on your computer and launch it. Now, open their Android app, it’ll auto detect All cast receiver is running on the same network. Tap on that, and it’ll start mirroring the Android screen on the chrome app of your computer.

Moreover, as you can tell from the name itself, the app supports screen recording and also lets you create GIFs from the screen recordings.
Cons: Watermarks and Advertisement in the free version.
Bottom Line: Good app if you can live up with the watermark. Useful, if you want to cast your Android screen on Apple or Fire TV or even on other Android devices.

No support for mobile data or USB. The app free (ad supported) and there is no onscreen watermark.
