# scrcpy (v1.19)
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
[Read in another language](#translations)
|
||
|
||
This application provides display and control of Android devices connected on
|
||
USB (or [over TCP/IP][article-tcpip]). It does not require any _root_ access.
|
||
It works on _GNU/Linux_, _Windows_ and _macOS_.
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
It focuses on:
|
||
|
||
- **lightness** (native, displays only the device screen)
|
||
- **performance** (30~60fps)
|
||
- **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 device)
|
||
|
||
[lowlatency]: https://github.com/Genymobile/scrcpy/pull/646
|
||
|
||
|
||
## Requirements
|
||
|
||
The Android device requires at least API 21 (Android 5.0).
|
||
|
||
Make sure you [enabled adb debugging][enable-adb] on your device(s).
|
||
|
||
[enable-adb]: https://developer.android.com/studio/command-line/adb.html#Enabling
|
||
|
||
On some devices, you also need to enable [an additional option][control] to
|
||
control it using keyboard and mouse.

||
|
||
## Run
|
||
|
||
Plug an Android device, and execute:
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
scrcpy
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
It accepts command-line arguments, listed by:
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
scrcpy --help
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
## Features
|
||
|
||
### Capture configuration
|
||
|
||
#### Reduce size
|
||
|
||
Sometimes, it is useful to mirror an Android device at a lower definition to
|
||
increase performance.
|
||
|
||
To limit both the width and height to some value (e.g. 1024):
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
scrcpy --max-size 1024
|
||
scrcpy -m 1024 # short version
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
The other dimension is computed to that the device aspect ratio is preserved.
|
||
That way, a device in 1920×1080 will be mirrored at 1024×576.
|
||
|
||
|
||
#### Change bit-rate
|
||
|
||
The default bit-rate is 8 Mbps. To change the video bitrate (e.g. to 2 Mbps):
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
scrcpy --bit-rate 2M
|
||
scrcpy -b 2M # short version
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
#### Limit frame rate
|
||
|
||
The capture frame rate can be limited:
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
scrcpy --max-fps 15
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
This is officially supported since Android 10, but may work on earlier versions.
|
||
|
||
#### Crop
|
||
|
||
The device screen may be cropped to mirror only part of the screen.
|
||
|
||
This is useful for example to mirror only one eye of the Oculus Go:
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
scrcpy --crop 1224:1440:0:0 # 1224x1440 at offset (0,0)
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
If `--max-size` is also specified, resizing is applied after cropping.
|
||
|
||
|
||
#### Lock video orientation
|
||
|
||
|
||
To lock the orientation of the mirroring:
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
scrcpy --lock-video-orientation # initial (current) orientation
|
||
scrcpy --lock-video-orientation=0 # natural orientation
|
||
scrcpy --lock-video-orientation=1 # 90° counterclockwise
|
||
scrcpy --lock-video-orientation=2 # 180°
|
||
scrcpy --lock-video-orientation=3 # 90° clockwise
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
This affects recording orientation.
|
||
|
||
The [window may also be rotated](#rotation) independently.
|
||
|
||
|
||
#### Encoder
|
||
|
||
Some devices have more than one encoder, and some of them may cause issues or
|
||
crash. It is possible to select a different encoder:
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
scrcpy --encoder OMX.qcom.video.encoder.avc
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
To list the available encoders, you could pass an invalid encoder name, the
|
||
error will give the available encoders:
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
scrcpy --encoder _
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
### Capture
|
||
|
||
#### Recording
|
||
|
||
It is possible to record the screen while mirroring:
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
scrcpy --record file.mp4
|
||
scrcpy -r file.mkv
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
To disable mirroring while recording:
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
scrcpy --no-display --record file.mp4
|
||
scrcpy -Nr file.mkv
|
||
# interrupt recording with Ctrl+C
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
"Skipped frames" are recorded, even if they are not displayed in real time (for
|
||
performance reasons). Frames are _timestamped_ on the device, so [packet delay
|
||
variation] does not impact the recorded file.
|
||
|
||
[packet delay variation]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Packet_delay_variation
|
||
|
||
|
||
#### v4l2loopback
|
||
|
||
On Linux, it is possible to send the video stream to a v4l2 loopback device, so
|
||
that the Android device can be opened like a webcam by any v4l2-capable tool.
|
||
|
||
The module `v4l2loopback` must be installed:
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
sudo apt install v4l2loopback-dkms
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
To create a v4l2 device:
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
sudo modprobe v4l2loopback
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
This will create a new video device in `/dev/videoN`, where `N` is an integer
|
||
(more [options](https://github.com/umlaeute/v4l2loopback#options) are available
|
||
to create several devices or devices with specific IDs).
|
||
|
||
To list the enabled devices:
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
# requires v4l-utils package
|
||
v4l2-ctl --list-devices
|
||
|
||
# simple but might be sufficient
|
||
ls /dev/video*
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
To start scrcpy using a v4l2 sink:
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
scrcpy --v4l2-sink=/dev/videoN
|
||
scrcpy --v4l2-sink=/dev/videoN --no-display # disable mirroring window
|
||
scrcpy --v4l2-sink=/dev/videoN -N # short version
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
(replace `N` by the device ID, check with `ls /dev/video*`)
|
||
|
||
Once enabled, you can open your video stream with a v4l2-capable tool:
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
ffplay -i /dev/videoN
|
||
vlc v4l2:///dev/videoN # VLC might add some buffering delay
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
For example, you could capture the video within [OBS].
|
||
|
||
[OBS]: https://obsproject.com/
|
||
|
||
|
||
#### Buffering
|
||
|
||
It is possible to add buffering. This increases latency but reduces jitter (see
|
||
#2464).
|
||
|
||
The option is available for display buffering:
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
scrcpy --display-buffer=50 # add 50 ms buffering for display
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
and V4L2 sink:
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
scrcpy --v4l2-buffer=500 # add 500 ms buffering for v4l2 sink
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
|
||
### Connection
|
||
|
||
#### Wireless
|
||
|
||
_Scrcpy_ uses `adb` to communicate with the device, and `adb` can [connect] to a
|
||
device over TCP/IP:
|
||
|
||
1. Connect the device to the same Wi-Fi as your computer.
|
||
2. Get your device IP address, in Settings → About phone → Status, or by
|
||
executing this command:
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
adb shell ip route | awk '{print $9}'
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
3. Enable adb over TCP/IP on your device: `adb tcpip 5555`.
|
||
4. Unplug your device.
|
||
5. Connect to your device: `adb connect DEVICE_IP:5555` _(replace `DEVICE_IP`)_.
|
||
6. Run `scrcpy` as usual.
|
||
|
||
It may be useful to decrease the bit-rate and the definition:
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
scrcpy --bit-rate 2M --max-size 800
|
||
scrcpy -b2M -m800 # short version
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
[connect]: https://developer.android.com/studio/command-line/adb.html#wireless
|
||
|
||
|
||
#### Multi-devices
|
||
|
||
If several devices are listed in `adb devices`, you must specify the _serial_:
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
scrcpy --serial 0123456789abcdef
|
||
scrcpy -s 0123456789abcdef # short version
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
If the device is connected over TCP/IP:
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
scrcpy --serial 192.168.0.1:5555
|
||
scrcpy -s 192.168.0.1:5555 # short version
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
You can start several instances of _scrcpy_ for several devices.
|
||
|
||
#### Autostart on device connection
|
||
|
||
You could use [AutoAdb]:
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
autoadb scrcpy -s '{}'
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
[AutoAdb]: https://github.com/rom1v/autoadb
|
||
|
||
#### SSH tunnel
|
||
|
||
To connect to a remote device, it is possible to connect a local `adb` client to
|
||
a remote `adb` server (provided they use the same version of the _adb_
|
||
protocol):
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
adb kill-server # kill the local adb server on 5037
|
||
ssh -CN -L5037:localhost:5037 -R27183:localhost:27183 your_remote_computer
|
||
# keep this open
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
From another terminal:
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
scrcpy
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
To avoid enabling remote port forwarding, you could force a forward connection
|
||
instead (notice the `-L` instead of `-R`):
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
adb kill-server # kill the local adb server on 5037
|
||
ssh -CN -L5037:localhost:5037 -L27183:localhost:27183 your_remote_computer
|
||
# keep this open
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
From another terminal:
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
scrcpy --force-adb-forward
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
|
||
Like for wireless connections, it may be useful to reduce quality:
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
scrcpy -b2M -m800 --max-fps 15
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
### Window configuration
|
||
|
||
#### Title
|
||
|
||
By default, the window title is the device model. It can be changed:
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
scrcpy --window-title 'My device'
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
#### Position and size
|
||
|
||
The initial window position and size may be specified:
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
scrcpy --window-x 100 --window-y 100 --window-width 800 --window-height 600
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
#### Borderless
|
||
|
||
To disable window decorations:
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
scrcpy --window-borderless
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
#### Always on top
|
||
|
||
To keep the scrcpy window always on top:
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
scrcpy --always-on-top
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
#### Fullscreen
|
||
|
||
The app may be started directly in fullscreen:
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
scrcpy --fullscreen
|
||
scrcpy -f # short version
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Fullscreen can then be toggled dynamically with <kbd>MOD</kbd>+<kbd>f</kbd>.
|
||
|
||
#### Rotation
|
||
|
||
The window may be rotated:
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
scrcpy --rotation 1
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Possibles values are:
|
||
- `0`: no rotation
|
||
- `1`: 90 degrees counterclockwise
|
||
- `2`: 180 degrees
|
||
- `3`: 90 degrees clockwise
|
||
|
||
The rotation can also be changed dynamically with <kbd>MOD</kbd>+<kbd>←</kbd>
|
||
_(left)_ and <kbd>MOD</kbd>+<kbd>→</kbd> _(right)_.
|
||
|
||
Note that _scrcpy_ manages 3 different rotations:
|
||
- <kbd>MOD</kbd>+<kbd>r</kbd> requests the device to switch between portrait
|
||
and landscape (the current running app may refuse, if it does not support the
|
||
requested orientation).
|
||
- [`--lock-video-orientation`](#lock-video-orientation) changes the mirroring
|
||
orientation (the orientation of the video sent from the device to the
|
||
computer). This affects the recording.
|
||
- `--rotation` (or <kbd>MOD</kbd>+<kbd>←</kbd>/<kbd>MOD</kbd>+<kbd>→</kbd>)
|
||
rotates only the window content. This affects only the display, not the
|
||
recording.
|
||
|
||
|
||
### Other mirroring options
|
||
|
||
#### Read-only
|
||
|
||
To disable controls (everything which can interact with the device: input keys,
|
||
mouse events, drag&drop files):
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
scrcpy --no-control
|
||
scrcpy -n
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
#### Display
|
||
|
||
If several displays are available, it is possible to select the display to
|
||
mirror:
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
scrcpy --display 1
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
The list of display ids can be retrieved by:
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
adb shell dumpsys display # search "mDisplayId=" in the output
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
The secondary display may only be controlled if the device runs at least Android
|
||
10 (otherwise it is mirrored in read-only).
|
||
|
||
|
||
#### Stay awake
|
||
|
||
To prevent the device to sleep after some delay when the device is plugged in:
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
scrcpy --stay-awake
|
||
scrcpy -w
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
The initial state is restored when scrcpy is closed.
|
||
|
||
|
||
#### Turn screen off
|
||
|
||
It is possible to turn the device screen off while mirroring on start with a
|
||
command-line option:
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
scrcpy --turn-screen-off
|
||
scrcpy -S
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Or by pressing <kbd>MOD</kbd>+<kbd>o</kbd> at any time.
|
||
|
||
To turn it back on, press <kbd>MOD</kbd>+<kbd>Shift</kbd>+<kbd>o</kbd>.
|
||
|
||
On Android, the `POWER` button always turns the screen on. For convenience, if
|
||
`POWER` is sent via scrcpy (via right-click or <kbd>MOD</kbd>+<kbd>p</kbd>), it
|
||
will force to turn the screen off after a small delay (on a best effort basis).
|
||
The physical `POWER` button will still cause the screen to be turned on.
|
||
|
||
It can also be useful to prevent the device from sleeping:
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
scrcpy --turn-screen-off --stay-awake
|
||
scrcpy -Sw
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
|
||
#### Show touches
|
||
|
||
For presentations, it may be useful to show physical touches (on the physical
|
||
device).
|
||
|
||
Android provides this feature in _Developers options_.
|
||
|
||
_Scrcpy_ provides an option to enable this feature on start and restore the
|
||
initial value on exit:
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
scrcpy --show-touches
|
||
scrcpy -t
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Note that it only shows _physical_ touches (with the finger on the device).
|
||
|
||
|
||
#### Disable screensaver
|
||
|
||
By default, scrcpy does not prevent the screensaver to run on the computer.
|
||
|
||
To disable it:
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
scrcpy --disable-screensaver
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
|
||
### Input control
|
||
|
||
#### Rotate device screen
|
||
|
||
Press <kbd>MOD</kbd>+<kbd>r</kbd> to switch between portrait and landscape
|
||
modes.
|
||
|
||
Note that it rotates only if the application in foreground supports the
|
||
requested orientation.
|
||
|
||
#### Copy-paste
|
||
|
||
Any time the Android clipboard changes, it is automatically synchronized to the
|
||
computer clipboard.
|
||
|
||
Any <kbd>Ctrl</kbd> shortcut is forwarded to the device. In particular:
|
||
- <kbd>Ctrl</kbd>+<kbd>c</kbd> typically copies
|
||
- <kbd>Ctrl</kbd>+<kbd>x</kbd> typically cuts
|
||
- <kbd>Ctrl</kbd>+<kbd>v</kbd> typically pastes (after computer-to-device
|
||
clipboard synchronization)
|
||
|
||
This typically works as you expect.
|
||
|
||
The actual behavior depends on the active application though. For example,
|
||
_Termux_ sends SIGINT on <kbd>Ctrl</kbd>+<kbd>c</kbd> instead, and _K-9 Mail_
|
||
composes a new message.
|
||
|
||
To copy, cut and paste in such cases (but only supported on Android >= 7):
|
||
- <kbd>MOD</kbd>+<kbd>c</kbd> injects `COPY`
|
||
- <kbd>MOD</kbd>+<kbd>x</kbd> injects `CUT`
|
||
- <kbd>MOD</kbd>+<kbd>v</kbd> injects `PASTE` (after computer-to-device
|
||
clipboard synchronization)
|
||
|
||
In addition, <kbd>MOD</kbd>+<kbd>Shift</kbd>+<kbd>v</kbd> allows to inject the
|
||
computer clipboard text as a sequence of key events. This is useful when the
|
||
component does not accept text pasting (for example in _Termux_), but it can
|
||
break non-ASCII content.
|
||
|
||
**WARNING:** Pasting the computer clipboard to the device (either via
|
||
<kbd>Ctrl</kbd>+<kbd>v</kbd> or <kbd>MOD</kbd>+<kbd>v</kbd>) copies the content
|
||
into the device clipboard. As a consequence, any Android application could read
|
||
its content. You should avoid to paste sensitive content (like passwords) that
|
||
way.
|
||
|
||
Some devices do not behave as expected when setting the device clipboard
|
||
programmatically. An option `--legacy-paste` is provided to change the behavior
|
||
of <kbd>Ctrl</kbd>+<kbd>v</kbd> and <kbd>MOD</kbd>+<kbd>v</kbd> so that they
|
||
also inject the computer clipboard text as a sequence of key events (the same
|
||
way as <kbd>MOD</kbd>+<kbd>Shift</kbd>+<kbd>v</kbd>).
|
||
|
||
#### Pinch-to-zoom
|
||
|
||
To simulate "pinch-to-zoom": <kbd>Ctrl</kbd>+_click-and-move_.
|
||
|
||
More precisely, hold <kbd>Ctrl</kbd> while pressing the left-click button. Until
|
||
the left-click button is released, all mouse movements scale and rotate the
|
||
content (if supported by the app) relative to the center of the screen.
|
||
|
||
Concretely, scrcpy generates additional touch events from a "virtual finger" at
|
||
a location inverted through the center of the screen.
|
||
|
||
|
||
#### Text injection preference
|
||
|
||
There are two kinds of [events][textevents] generated when typing text:
|
||
- _key events_, signaling that a key is pressed or released;
|
||
- _text events_, signaling that a text has been entered.
|
||
|
||
By default, letters are injected using key events, so that the keyboard behaves
|
||
as expected in games (typically for WASD keys).
|
||
|
||
But this may [cause issues][prefertext]. If you encounter such a problem, you
|
||
can avoid it by:
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
scrcpy --prefer-text
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
(but this will break keyboard behavior in games)
|
||
|
||

|
||
[prefertext]: https://github.com/Genymobile/scrcpy/issues/650#issuecomment-512945343
|
||
|
||
|
||
#### Key repeat
|
||
|
||
By default, holding a key down generates repeated key events. This can cause
|
||
performance problems in some games, where these events are useless anyway.
|
||
|
||
To avoid forwarding repeated key events:
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
scrcpy --no-key-repeat
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
|
||
#### Right-click and middle-click
|
||
|
||
By default, right-click triggers BACK (or POWER on) and middle-click triggers
|
||
HOME. To disable these shortcuts and forward the clicks to the device instead:
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
scrcpy --forward-all-clicks
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
|
||
### File drop
|
||
|
||
#### Install APK
|
||
|
||
To install an APK, drag & drop an APK file (ending with `.apk`) to the _scrcpy_
|
||
window.
|
||
|
||
There is no visual feedback, a log is printed to the console.
|
||
|
||
|
||
#### Push file to device
|
||
|
||
To push a file to `/sdcard/Download/` on the device, drag & drop a (non-APK)
|
||
file to the _scrcpy_ window.
|
||
|
||
There is no visual feedback, a log is printed to the console.
|
||
|
||
The target directory can be changed on start:
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
scrcpy --push-target=/sdcard/Movies/
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
|
||
### Audio forwarding
|
||
|
||
Audio is not forwarded by _scrcpy_. Use [sndcpy].
|
||
|
||
Also see [issue #14].

|
||
## Shortcuts
|
||
|
||
In the following list, <kbd>MOD</kbd> is the shortcut modifier. By default, it's
|
||
(left) <kbd>Alt</kbd> or (left) <kbd>Super</kbd>.
|
||
|
||
It can be changed using `--shortcut-mod`. Possible keys are `lctrl`, `rctrl`,
|
||
`lalt`, `ralt`, `lsuper` and `rsuper`. For example:
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
# use RCtrl for shortcuts
|
||
scrcpy --shortcut-mod=rctrl
|
||
|
||
# use either LCtrl+LAlt or LSuper for shortcuts
|
||
scrcpy --shortcut-mod=lctrl+lalt,lsuper
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
_<kbd>[Super]</kbd> is typically the <kbd>Windows</kbd> or <kbd>Cmd</kbd> key._
|
||
|
||

||
_¹Double-click on black borders to remove them._
|
||
_²Right-click turns the screen on if it was off, presses BACK otherwise._
|
||
_³4th and 5th mouse buttons, if your mouse has them._
|
||
_⁴Only on Android >= 7._
|
||
|
||
Shortcuts with repeated keys are executted by releasing and pressing the key a
|
||
second time. For example, to execute "Expand settings panel":
|
||
|
||
1. Press and keep pressing <kbd>MOD</kbd>.
|
||
2. Then double-press <kbd>n</kbd>.
|
||
3. Finally, release <kbd>MOD</kbd>.
|
||
|
||
All <kbd>Ctrl</kbd>+_key_ shortcuts are forwarded to the device, so they are
|
||
handled by the active application.
|
||
|
||
|
||
## Custom paths
|
||
|
||
To use a specific _adb_ binary, configure its path in the environment variable
|
||
`ADB`:
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
ADB=/path/to/adb scrcpy
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
To override the path of the `scrcpy-server` file, configure its path in
|
||
`SCRCPY_SERVER_PATH`.

## Why _scrcpy_?
|
||
|
||
A colleague challenged me to find a name as unpronounceable as [gnirehtet].
|
||
|
||
[`strcpy`] copies a **str**ing; `scrcpy` copies a **scr**een.
