As mentioned in this Hacker News comment[1], it would be great to have a remote display option to mirror the actual device's screen (not just take a screenshot) into the App Manager. [1]: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6555328
Priority: -- → P4
I'd still love to see this happen some day, either in about:debugging or RDM.

highlighted the following project:
https://github.com/Genymobile/scrcpy
which helps do remote screen mirroring, but also a lot more: all keyboard/mouse mapping, audio forwarding, some camera handling,...

I'm wondering if we could ship this dependency via an addon, similarly to adb?
It sounds like, we could do some screen mirroring, but it may be a lot of work and would always do less than this tool.
