Stream videos from your computer to your Android
Just think about this situation: you've downloaded the latest episode of Game of Thrones to your PC and you desperately need to know if Arya Stark dies. But you've also got loads of other things to do: make lunch, wash your dog or varnish a window... Don't worry because the guys behind the multimedia player VLC have thought about everything: you can now stream videos between your computer and your Android device with VLC Streamer Free.
Mirroring from your PC to your smartphone or tablet
The previous example might be slightly exaggerated because nobody would do any other task if they still had to watch the latest episode of Game of Thrones, Narcos or Stranger Things. But you might want to cook while watching a video recipe, build a shelf with a DIY video tutorial or play the piano following a video on YouTube... in that case, this is the right app for you.
Receive the video signal of your computer on your tablet or phone.
And the fact is that by installing the APK of this application you can do exactly the same as with Chromecast. In other words, play any video stored on your computer's hard drive or even an online video from sites like Facebook or YouTube straight on your phone. For such purpose, you only need the Windows or Mac app and share the same WiFi network. All devices will be synchronized and you can start enjoying your videos or music on your phone. That's how it works.
Main features
- Application that's easy to install and even easier to use.
- Possibility to share multimedia files with any device connected to the same network.
- Play videos or songs downloaded to your PC or online via streaming.
- Support for different qualities and resolutions.
This is the free version of the application that is almost identical to the full version you have to pay for. What's the difference then? Well, in this case, you'll have to watch an advert now and again... But if you're not too keen on having your time wasted, it will only cost you a few dollars.
Requirements and additional information:
- Minimum operating system requirements: Android 7.0
