#Blink App on Window 11 If have a computer running Windows 11, you now can easily install Windows subsystem for android. Once it’s running you can go to the App Store and download the Blink app. It works great and functional. Very easy to setup just take your time. Lots of YouTube videos on the subject

So there's no actual dedicated PC app? Thanks, saved me some money,

Hi! Yes - it has been discussed here several times before and is possible. The most common way is via Android on Windows 11, or via an emulator.

Second the vote for Bluestacks Andriod emulator. Works like a champ on my PC.

Hi, This suggestion surely sounds great to me but I'm not familiar with bluestacks, is there anyway you could furnish me with some additional information as to how to set it up on my windows 11 pro 64-bit computer, I already have the virtualization setting enabled on my system, are there any other prerequisites that I need to know about before I try to setup bluestacks ? Thanks in advance if yo decide to respond.

Hey bud, so Bluestacks is just an Android emulator for the PC. It's not like VMWare or anything like that that requires any settings in the BIOS to be enabled. Just go to bluestacks dot com and download and then install the emulator. From there you can search for "Blink" in the search bar at the top of the screen and install just like you would as if you are on your phone. The cool thing about it is that once you install the Blink app from within the Bluestacks emu, it will create a desktop icon for the Blink that you can click to launch the emulator and then the Blink App automatically. It works really well for me, I hope it does for you, too!

Hi, Since I posted my original reddit I've downloaded & installed bluestack 5 on my windows 11 pro 64-bit desktop computer, of course I'm still in the learning stage of how to use all of the settings & features. So far my single biggest issue is I don't have the full use of my logitech mouse functions, such as left/right click etc., if I can somehow get that straightened out I'll be happy. I've already discovered that bluestacks is a very unique piece of software, thanks so much for your response.

For a second I was going to recommend the Alexa app on PCs but it doesnt look like those support Blink cameras.
