I’d like to use Genymotion in the cloud. What are the steps to set it up?
Start by creating a Genymotion Cloud account and selecting a SaaS plan, then create or join a project, launch a virtual device recipe, and connect to it via the web UI or the gmsaas CLI/ADB. After the device is running you can upload APKs, run tests, or integrate with CI using the HTTP API or gmsaas commands.
Steps (quick):
1. Sign up or sign in to Genymotion SaaS at https://cloud.geny.io/signin and choose Pay-As-You-Go, Unlimited, or Premium on the product page: Genymotion SaaS — Cloud Android Emulator.
2. Read the SaaS User Guide for account, team and permissions setup: SaaS User Guide.
3. Create a project/group and allocate quotas for users in the Administration interface (see Billing to manage subscription).
4. From the recipe list pick a device image (or create a custom recipe) and click Start to launch an instance. See the recipes and Android versions available on the product page and blog.
5. Connect to the running device: use the web session for interactive demos or install gmsaas to connect to ADB:
- Authenticate:
gmsaas auth <your account email> - Start/connect:
gmsaas instances adbconnect <instance_uuid> - Confirm with
adb devices(device shows aslocalhost:PORT). Guidance: How to use IDEs with Genymotion SaaS.
6. Upload APKs via the web UI or sideload with ADB, run manual tests, or integrate automation with CI tools and the HTTP API. See integrations and CI examples on the product page and docs.
7. Monitor usage and billing in Administration → Billing; cancel or change plan from the same panel. Pricing overview: Genymotion SaaS — Cloud Android Emulator.

Do you plan to use Genymotion SaaS for manual testing, CI automation, or demos so I can tailor the setup steps and examples?
