No you just need to start your emulators and Katalon Studio will detect them like the real device. There are no extra configurations needed besides the configuration guide in our official documentations ---

If you are using Bluestacks as emulator, first of all enable the Android Debug Bridge. Go to Bluestacks -\> Preferences -\> navigate to Preferences tab -\> Enable Android Debug Bridge. Now bluestacks is running on localhost:5555. Go to terminal and run the command “adb connect localhost:5555”. Now katalon studio should detect your bluestack device. ---
