**Can I use the online version instead of downloading the emulator?**
Yes! Genymotion offers a fully online, cloud‑based emulator through **Genymotion SaaS**.
- **What it is** – A web‑based platform where you can launch Android virtual devices directly from your browser.
- **How to use it** –
1. Sign up for a Genymotion SaaS account (there’s a free trial).
2. In the dashboard, find the Android image you need (e.g., Android 16, Android 15, or custom recipes).
3. Click **Start** to spin up a virtual device instantly.
4. Connect your IDE, run tests, or demo your app—all without installing anything locally.
- **Benefits** –
- No local installation or VirtualBox/Vmware setup.
- Scalable: run many devices in parallel for automated testing or team collaboration.
- Instant updates: always get the latest Android releases as soon as they’re available.
If you prefer a self‑hosted or on‑premises solution, Genymotion also offers **Genymotion for Cloud Providers** (AWS, GCP, Azure) and **Genymotion Desktop** for local development. But for a pure online experience, Genymotion SaaS is the way to go.
