**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.
