What is “Android Device Streaming powered by Firebase” in Android Studio? – virtual emulator

In this video it explains about the “Android Device Streaming” option to run virtual Android device or emulator in Android Studio environment.

As per formal documentation, it states below:

Android Device Streaming, powered by Firebase, provides secure direct ADB access to a wide range of Android devices, which you can use to debug and interact with your app.

Android Device Streaming is a Beta service and may encounter service disruptions or issues as performance improves. Select a Firebase Spark plan project for limited access at no cost, or select a Blaze project for pay-as-you-go access that’s billed monthly.
