Can I take a photo of my desktop through Android Emulator camera?

Question

I'd like to capture my desktop through the back camera of my emulator. I'm aware that you can set it to use your computers webcam or even a remote camera but I haven't found any information on using the camera to take a photo on what is behind the emulator window.

The reason I'd like to do this is that I have a presentation to give of my app which is done over a desktop sharing session. So I cannot easily demonstrate with a genuine device.

I'd therefore like to be able to move one emulator over the other so that I may take a photo of a QR code that the second QR code generated.

Is this possible?

Cheers

I would suggest you use AirDroid and Vysor . Both of them are free, and can mirror your phone on the screen of your computer.
