Screen Stream – Allows viewing the device screen in your web browser

[App] Screen Stream over HTTP

Screen Stream  allows viewing the device screen in your web browser.

No need of any additional software except for this app and a web browser.
No annoying ads or pop-ups.
The application works via WiFi and/or 3G/LTE network.
App source code: github.com/dkrivoruchko/ScreenStream

The main idea is to show your device screen during presentations and demos.
It uses MJPEG to encode screen images and send them through the network. So it works with any desktop or mobile browser which supports MJPEG (Chrome, Safari, EDGE, Firefox).

Fast and stable WiFi recommended because of high traffic and low network delay requirement. No Internet required, however, there must be a network connection between the client and the device.
The number of client connections is unlimited, but be aware that each of them requires some CPU resources and bandwidth to send data.
Application uses Android Cast feature and requires at least Android 5.0 to run.

WARNING: This is not a real time streaming app. Expected delay is at least 0.5-1 second or more on slow devices, bad WiFi or on heavy CPU load by other apps.
WARNING: This app is not designed for streaming video, especially HD video. Use Chromecast instead.
WARNING: This app does NOT support SOUND streaming, because MJPEG does not support sound.
WARNING: Some cell operators may block incoming connections to your device for security reasons, so, even if the device has an IP address from a cell operator, you may not be able to connect to the device on using this IP address.
WARNING: Some WiFi networks (mostly public/guest) block connections between its clients for security reasons, so you may not be able to connect to the device via WiFi. For example, a laptop and a phone in this such a WiFi network will not be able to connect to each other.

Known problems
1.On some devices, system returns image in unknown format. Mostly on devices with no official Android 5.0 or above. Possible Android bug. App will show an error message. No solution available.
2.On some devices no notification icon showing but notification is present. Android bug: 213309.
3.Browser MJPEG support check is inaccurate. You can disable it in application settings.

Screen Stream user reviews :

This is the simplest port ever, now either that’s a problem or I don’t know how to enable it. The problem is there’s no sound in the pc. If that’s a feature thats available then teach me how to enable it, otherwise add the sound feature.

  • Use Global mode

Only video can be screened. I tried many times to screen the audio with video but it didn’t work. Try to solve this problem. Video without audio cannot be enjoyed.

  • Use Global mode.

Apparently, can’t stream from TV apps. I tried with two apps, a black rectangle is all I got instead of the tv pic. Streaming the regular phone screen works, but that’s not what I’m after.

  • TV apps block content capturing.

Great app! I have an suggestion that please add audio that it can send audio to another phone. Thanks!

  • Use Global mode (WebRTC)

This application is good. Since, long I was searching an application to mirror my screen in the PC without USB debugging on & this app works like charm. There is only one problem during idle screen it starts showing trying to connect message. When I do some activity on screen it starts displaying again. Request you to increase idle screen to 10 minutes and find some solution related to idle screen.

No ads, great app

beautiful app, does what it says, better than expected, no ads, just perfect

A simple, no-nonsense app like I wish there were more of: does what it’s supposed to do and nothing else, and does it well. Being MJPG based is definitely a feature, not a bug. Due the age of the technology it works in many more low-tech situations than newer technologies. Almost like how we still use GIFs on the Internet, basically. It is perfectly suitable for screen capture that doesn’t need high framerates or a high resolution. And best of all it is a open source app (there’s an F-DROID version, I only briefly installed the Google Store version to leave a well-deserved five star review)
