# scrcpy (v2.4)

|

|
||
_pronounced "**scr**een **c**o**py**"_
|
||
|
||
This application mirrors Android devices (video and audio) connected via
|
||
USB or [over TCP/IP](doc/connection.md#tcpip-wireless), and allows to control the
|
||
device with the keyboard and the mouse of the computer. It does not require any
|
||
_root_ access. It works on _Linux_, _Windows_ and _macOS_.
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
It focuses on:
|
||
|
||
- **lightness**: native, displays only the device screen
|
||
- **performance**: 30~120fps, depending on the device
|
||
- **quality**: 1920×1080 or above
|
||
- **low latency**: [35~70ms][lowlatency]
|
||
- **low startup time**: ~1 second to display the first image
|
||
- **non-intrusiveness**: nothing is left installed on the Android device
|
||
- **user benefits**: no account, no ads, no internet required
|
||
- **freedom**: free and open source software
|
||
|
||
[lowlatency]: https://github.com/Genymobile/scrcpy/pull/646
|
||
|
||
Its features include:
|
||
- [audio forwarding](doc/audio.md) (Android 11+)
|
||
- [recording](doc/recording.md)
|
||
- mirroring with [Android device screen off](doc/device.md#turn-screen-off)
|
||
- [copy-paste](doc/control.md#copy-paste) in both directions
|
||
- [configurable quality](doc/video.md)
|
||
- [camera mirroring](doc/camera.md) (Android 12+)
|
||
- [mirroring as a webcam (V4L2)](doc/v4l2.md) (Linux-only)
|
||
- physical [keyboard][hid-keyboard] and [mouse][hid-mouse] simulation (HID)
|
||
- [OTG mode](doc/otg.md)
|
||
- and more…

|
||
[hid-mouse]: doc/mouse.md#physical-mouse-simulation
|
||
|
||
## Prerequisites
|
||
|
||
The Android device requires at least API 21 (Android 5.0).
|
||
|
||
[Audio forwarding](doc/audio.md) is supported for API >= 30 (Android 11+).
|
||
|
||
Make sure you [enabled USB debugging][enable-adb] on your device(s).
|
||
|
||
[enable-adb]: https://developer.android.com/studio/debug/dev-options#enable
|
||
|
||
On some devices, you also need to enable [an additional option][control] `USB
|
||
debugging (Security Settings)` (this is an item different from `USB debugging`)
|
||
to control it using a keyboard and mouse. Rebooting the device is necessary once
|
||
this option is set.
|
||
|
||
[control]: https://github.com/Genymobile/scrcpy/issues/70#issuecomment-373286323
|
||
|
||
Note that USB debugging is not required to run scrcpy in [OTG mode](doc/otg.md).
|
||
|
||
|
||
## Get the app
|
||
|
||
- [Linux](doc/linux.md)
|
||
- [Windows](doc/windows.md)
|
||
- [macOS](doc/macos.md)
|
||
|
||
|
||
## Usage examples
|
||
|
||
There are a lot of options, [documented](#user-documentation) in separate pages.
|
||
Here are just some common examples.
|
||
|
||
- Capture the screen in H.265 (better quality), limit the size to 1920, limit
|
||
the frame rate to 60fps, disable audio, and control the device by simulating
|
||
a physical keyboard:
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
scrcpy --video-codec=h265 --max-size=1920 --max-fps=60 --no-audio --keyboard=uhid
|
||
scrcpy --video-codec=h265 -m1920 --max-fps=60 --no-audio -K # short version
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
- Record the device camera in H.265 at 1920x1080 (and microphone) to an MP4
|
||
file:
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
scrcpy --video-source=camera --video-codec=h265 --camera-size=1920x1080 --record=file.mp4
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
- Capture the device front camera and expose it as a webcam on the computer (on
|
||
Linux):
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
scrcpy --video-source=camera --camera-size=1920x1080 --camera-facing=front --v4l2-sink=/dev/video2 --no-playback
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
- Control the device without mirroring by simulating a physical keyboard and
|
||
mouse (USB debugging not required):
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
scrcpy --otg
|
||
```
|
||
