How do I install Screencloud?

Published in Software Installation 2 mins read

You can install ScreenCloud in one of two ways, depending on your needs: via the Google Play Store or by directly downloading and installing the APK file.

Here's a breakdown of each method:

1. Installing ScreenCloud via the Google Play Store:

  • Search: Open the Google Play Store on your Android device.
  • Find ScreenCloud: Search for "ScreenCloud" in the search bar.
  • Download and Install: Select the ScreenCloud app and tap "Install." The app will download and install automatically.

2. Installing ScreenCloud via Direct APK Download:

This method is useful if you need a specific version or are installing on a device without direct access to the Google Play Store.

  • Determine your Android version: Identify the Android operating system version running on your device (e.g., Android Oreo 8+, Lollipop 5.0+, or KitKat 4.4). This information can usually be found in your device's "Settings" under "About phone" or "About device."
  • Find the correct APK: From the reference given in the prompt, click "See Other Versions." This will lead you to where you can download the version that is right for your operating system.
  • Download the APK file: Click the appropriate APK download link for your device's Android version.
  • Enable "Install from Unknown Sources": Before installing, you'll likely need to enable installation from unknown sources in your device's security settings. The exact location of this setting varies depending on your Android version:
    • Android 8.0 (Oreo) and later: Go to Settings > Apps & notifications > Special app access > Install unknown apps. Select the app you'll use to install the APK (e.g., your file manager) and enable "Allow from this source."
    • Older Android versions: Go to Settings > Security > Unknown sources and enable it. (Note: Disabling this after installation is a good security practice.)
  • Install the APK: Use a file manager app to locate the downloaded APK file and tap on it to begin the installation process. Follow the on-screen prompts to complete the installation.
