Use Your Android Tablet as a Second PC Monitor with a USB Cable

In this video, I'll guide you through setting up your Android tablet as a second monitor for your Windows PC using a USB cable.
To start, you'll need to download the necessary software from www.spacedesk.net on your PC and install the 'Spacedesk - Display Monitor' app from the Google Play Store on your Android tablet.
Please note that you'll require a USB cable capable of data transfer, not just charging.
Once you've followed the steps in this tutorial, you'll have a dual-monitor setup that boosts productivity and maximizes your Android tablet's potential.
Here is a link to a USB Cable that does Data Transfer if you need one:

[@hello_its_me.]

Sam, your instructions are very clear! Everything worked flawlessly. Thanks a million!

[@gabirubas1]

Thank you, so much! A lot of videos didn't teach how to do this with an USB cable!

[@SamCambetis]

Glad I could help!

[@Gustav.J]

Works flawlessly and surprisingly quickly - I'm using it currently.

[@heleneribeiro11]

Thank you for this! I was looking into purchasing laptop monitors on amazon, and then the price scared me. Googled if you could use a tablet as a second screen, and lo and behold, I find this video. Installed that app, tested it and it works via wifi as well!!! This is truly a gamechanger! Kind regards from Portugal 🙂

[@Loaf1k]

just get a pc

[@Vialli100.]

Brilliant, just set my old tablet up as a system monitor.. Thank you very much..

[@ThiHaGadgets]

Excellent walk-thru. Exactly what I need. Thank you so much. It works like a charm. Thank you so much. All the best to you!!

[@andrewmorelli3274]

Had to temporarily move out of my office leaving my multiple screen set-up behind. Am using the kitchen table with jusy my laptop, and so found this video. Luckily you had the exact same tablet as me, so I watched. Easy to follow steps, and had my dual screen set-up back in no time. It's obviously not the best, using a smaller tablet screen, however, I think it will be much more appreciated when I'm out on the road, and have to dive into an eatery with wifi to get some work done. 5🌟

[@beckybplays]

This is so helpful!!! Thank you so much for making this video. I have wanted a 3rd screen but didn't have the space for a whole new monitor. using my tablet is going to help so much!!!

[@hellolouise252]

thank you so much! your instructions are clear and the whole video is straight to the point. very helpful. thank you!

[@chandannarad]

Thank you so much!! I have an old lenovo tab. Its now a second monitor for me. Almost no lag.

[@cryonicblue]

It worked great! Many thanks. Now I finally have use for my tablet. Hooked it up to work laptop

[@CarlosMartinez-jn2cf]

FANTASTIC VIDEO, I WAS USING THE WIRELESS CONNECTION AND IT WAS VERY VERY CHOPPY, THIS WORK MUCH BETTER!!!

[@Broseph9972]

Thanks, this is literally the thing ive been looking for for years.

[@DerBoss-hr3ts]

4:45 U can change the icon size to 250% or whatsoever. Worked perfectly for me. I dont use the Touchscreen but its more convenient!

[@S7Cameron]

Thank you so much. Every other method didn't seem to work but this one did perfectly

[@GamesforCykits]

For anyone who can't get this to work on your fire kindle 10 or above make sure the USB plug can transfer files then on the tablet go to settings, type in USB preference and click it, once there make sure all options arent grayed out, that's how you know if the USB plug can transfer files or not then click on the transfer files option then plug the tablet into the PC, should get a notification to open the spacedesk app.

[@medogaming1533]

Is the tablet charging while working as monitor ?

[@M1chael_]

@@medogaming1533 Can't get it to charge while using USB as most usb ports aren't designed for high power devices, ended up using a normal plug and wifi instead of usb connecting. works fairly well through wifi anyway. Would prefer usb but can't get it to charge :/

[@Harbinger2579]

absolutely amazing thank you so much for taking the time to do this video. helped sort a temporary setup for my stream.

[@lost_voyager]

Perfect. Works better than Duet which kept dropping off.

[@MancinikOperatoru]

This was very helpful thx a lot!!!

[@lawrencegt2229]

Worked really nicely both over WiFi and cable but my remote desktop connection window wouldn't stretch across both displays so looking for an alternative now.

[@YavuzBey33]

Thank you so much. If you guys have a problem like 2nd monitor gives responses slowly, its probably cuz of slow data transfer of your usb cable. I am just having the same problem but still it works fine. For a smooth performans i am gonna buy a new usb cable which supports faster data transfer. If u buy too, just be careful, its not about ampere but also transfer speed.

[@sabrinanastasi5809]

Thank you Sam, I was able to achieve what I wanted, which was to use my galaxy tab 6 lite for photoshop. Apparently samsung removed the "second screen" feature for my model.

This is a great video. I do have one question. My desktop has no webcam, I usually use the tab to most zoom meetings. Will I be able to do use the tab for zoom? Can I also share screen from the desktop?

Hi, tank u for sharing. How many tablets can u connect that way?

[@RandomUser888c]

thank u so muchh it workedd

[@ebrahimshayei6220]

Thanks for the video. Would it be possible to transfer a file onto the tablet and use its stylus to make some changes to the file and then save it back to the computer? Say, signing a PDF file?

[@user-rv3bz3fw5h]

thanks

[@s1ngularityxd64]

nice, now my old kit kat tablet has a 2nd live as a sensor monitor

[@ttzimas]

super useful !!!!!!!!

[@waffle3462]

Awesome video! Is it possible to use a USBC to USBC cable with Spacedesk? *Edit: Turns out you can and it's awesome! Thank you so much for the great video :)

[@sambech-de4ul]

this was very helpful so thanks a lot, however when checking the resolution settings the phone screen doesn't appear as an individual monitor, and when switching to second monitor only the resolution is set to 1024x768 with no option to change, would be cool to find a solution for this! and thanks again

[@wirthynek]

Triod to do this with USB but before connecting the cable I could already see my PC's ip and connect. Thanks thought. PC is connected via cable and tablet is wifi. Working great

[@Morrow16]

Hi, great video, I think I'm gonna use this as well :) But I have one concern: Is the tablet using it's own graphic card to display the image or is it using PC's GPU? Cause if I'm not mistaken (and if I am then correct me please 😅) running 2 different resolutions on 2 different monitors is additional load for GPU, which I'd rather like to avoid.

[@baconman53910]

Awesome sauce

[@tommy6742]

This works extremely well even though it can only output 60fps max on my tablet that has a display panel with 120hz refresh rate.

[@xprofessormytt9198]

does it work with other tablets? as long as it can download space desk?

[@SamCambetis]

Yep, it should work on any android as long as you can install the app from the play store on it.

[@owenstockwell4807]

This is a result of the speed of the cable

[@williamwieliczko5505]

@@owenstockwell4807does that mean with a propper cable it will be able to do higher frame rate?

[@thefacedlool2706]

Hey there, do you think Its possible to use a hdmi to usb-c cable and plug it into the pc's hdmi port? Its mainly so I can use my samsung tablet for drawing but still have a high refresh rate. Unless there's a setting for that in the program. I tried this app but it doesn't suppport tilt sensitivity with the pen for some reason. I need that for drawing.

[@dc22199x]

Hi, after you initially installed those software. 1. Will the tablet work as standalone monitor without the main monitor? 2. What's the max frame per second? 3. Is the connection a 2 way? It power charge and it connects to pc? Im quite curious and planning to buy lenova tablets or some highend tablet / rather than buying portable monitor.

[@bal4350]

THANK S A LOT

[@timoyr2954]

Does it work seamlessly like a cheap 10" monitor would? Like if I turn on the computer, the tablet would automatically turn on anc connect as a second display?

The wallpaper looks cool. Where you get it?

[@CharlieW-yy1nt]

Thank you for this amazing tutorial Sam, you're a lifesaver. 😄Only if you know how helpful this is for some of us. Your out-of-the-box thinking and unique perspective turned an otherwise mediocre presentation into a fantastic one Mcraespy. You did a good job of catching the mistakes and keeping us from wasting time and by taking the wrong path. Your attention to detail really sets you apart from the crowd. Great work! Sir Greg, Your great work has resulted in tangible, beneficial results to me. You’re a force to be reckoned.

[@kavitaparkhi7889]

I works very well 😁

[@yourordinaryduck929]

This is a nice method, although there is a second screen option on the galaxy tab, but unfortunately it was removed in oneui 5.1.1 so this is a great alternative.

[@jleep2017]

It should still be there. Check under connections. Or check the quick icons. I still have it on my s8 ultra ajd s9plus
