You can create and launch a virtual device in Genymotion SaaS or Genymotion PaaS, but the exact steps depend on the cloud product. For SaaS, use the gmsaas CLI to authenticate, configure the Android SDK path, start an instance, and then connect it to ADB. For PaaS, deploy a Genymotion instance from your cloud provider console and choose the Android version and machine settings.

For Genymotion SaaS, the retrieved docs show this flow: 1. Create an API token in the SaaS portal. 2. Install and configure gmsaas. 3. Set your Android SDK path with gmsaas config set android-sdk-path <sdk_path>. 4. Verify with gmsaas doctor. 5. Start an instance in the SaaS UI. 6. Copy the instance UUID and connect it to ADB with gmsaas adb connect <instance_uuid>.

For Genymotion PaaS, the quickstart says you launch from your cloud marketplace or console, then choose the Android OS version, deployment name, zone, machine type, storage, and networking rules before clicking Deploy.
