Windows / Linux

On Linux, the method works only with VirtualBox Hypervisor.
Set the virtual device Network mode to Bridged.
Retrieve the virtual device IP address. The IP address is displayed on top of the virtual device window.
From another computer, open a command prompt and run:

  adb connect <virtual_device_IP>:5555

MacOS

MacOS does not have VirtualBox hypervisor on Mac M series, and the Bridged Network mode has not been implemented yet.
Forwarding TCP ports using the socat tool is possible.
Install socat:

  brew install socat

Forward your host computer local port 6555 to 127.0.0.1:6555:

  socat TCP-LISTEN:6555,bind=<your-host-computer-ip>,fork TCP:127.0.0.1:6555

From another computer, connect adb with your host computer port 6555:

  adb <your-host-computer-ip>:6555
