Clear answers about AirDroid Cast features, accounts, security, and legal use.
With a premium account, remote screen mirroring lets you cast from a device on one network to a receiver on another. Free accounts are limited to the same local network. Enable premium remote features in account settings after upgrade.
A free account supports sign-in on one device at a time. A yearly premium plan allows the same account on up to three devices simultaneously, useful for teams with multiple receivers.
No. Remote network mirroring requires a premium upgrade. Local WiFi and LAN casting remain available on the free tier with basic mirroring features.
They are not identical. Cast Web runs in supported browsers (Safari, Chrome, Edge, Yandex) for screencasting without installing the desktop client. Cast Web does not support remote phone control. Use the desktop client when you need to control Android or iOS from your PC with mouse and keyboard.
Remote sessions use peer-to-peer direct connection when possible. If P2P fails due to network limits, a relay may be used. Content is encrypted with end-to-end AES. Servers do not store transmitted screen data. Always download verified installers and compare SHA-256 hashes.
Up to five devices can cast to a single computer simultaneously when connected on the same network, including mixed Android, iOS, and computer senders where supported.
