scrcpy (v2.0)

pronounced "screen copy"

This application mirrors Android devices (video and audio) connected via USB or over TCP/IP, 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
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

Its features include:

audio forwarding (Android >= 11)
recording
mirroring with Android device screen off
copy-paste in both directions
configurable quality
Android device screen as a webcam (V4L2) (Linux-only)
physical keyboard/mouse simulation (HID)
OTG mode
and more…

Prerequisites

The Android device requires at least API 21 (Android 5.0).

Audio forwarding is supported for API >= 30 (Android 11+).

Make sure you enabled USB debugging on your device(s).

On some devices, you also need to enable an additional option 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.

Note that USB debugging is not required to run scrcpy in OTG mode.
