Screen Stream over HTTP for Android

Brief overview

Screen Stream over HTTP is a utility created by Dmitriy Krivoruchko that sends a mobile device’s display to a web browser. It delivers the screen feed over HTTP so you can watch a device’s display from any browser that can render MJPEG image streams.

How it works

• Open a web browser and point it to the IP address assigned to the mobile device.
• The app publishes the device screen as an MJPEG stream that the browser reads and displays.
• Compatibility relies on the browser’s ability to handle MJPEG frames rather than a specialized client.

Limitations and caveats

• The stream is not truly instantaneous — expect a small latency, typically around 0.5–1 second.
• Audio is not relayed, and the video is not provided in high-definition quality.
• It’s not intended for latency-sensitive tasks like competitive gaming or live production feeds.

Best use cases

• Quick demonstrations where seeing the device screen is sufficient.
• Remote walkthroughs, debugging sessions, or basic presentations that don’t require perfect frame rate or sound.
• Situations where a simple, browser-based viewing option is preferred over more complex mirroring solutions.
