Hello. My monitor is currently unavailable, and I need my PC for something. My friend suggested I use my phone as a display, so I began researching, but I could not find a solution that worked, so I decided to post here, to get live help from people.

Here's what my PC has installed:

- TeamViewer

- Microsoft Desktop Link (i think thats what its called)

heres what I've got:

USB Cable Type C

(I dont have a HDMI to USB adaptor.)

heres my phone:

Samsung A34 5G

Here's what I've tried:

Since TeamViewer doesn't turn on automatically in my PC, I've tried blindly logging in (space bar + password) then pressing windows key, typing "teamviewer" and pressing enter.

From my research, my PC should've shown up as "online" on the teamviewer android app, which it didn't.

I've also tried Microsoft Desktop Link, but my PC also refuses to show up there. both of these were tried while my USB Cable was plugged into the PC.

I've tried unplugging my Ethernet cable from my PC, and turning on USB Tethering so it connects to the WiFi, and so I could use the WiFi connection methods, but those also didn't work.

I've tried many USB Camera apps, which refused to detect any cameras.

At this point, I think I was doomed to fail from the start. Please, tell me if you've got any ideas. I'm desperate, and I NEED my PC.
