i have been using scrcpy for many years as my phone dosent support hdmi out, but i never knew that it has a gui by a different developer . THANKS ETA PRIME. we need more such videos like these.💖
I used SCRCPY before for starting my youtube channel.That time I had a problem with the quality of the recorded video, it was always in 720p. I did many things like adjusting the resolution, bitrate etc. through the command prompt, but they never worked. Turns out my phones resolution was low, that's why it was limiting the quality. (Didn't know scrcpy had recording capability, so i used OBS) I neverthought of having the GUI, seeing it now it looks cool.
Use it daily here. Even have a macro pad that has dedicated buttons to use scrcpy to activate scripts for my devices to open up (via WiFi) works perfectly :D
Hopefully it will also be possible to do the same from android to android in future updates. 11" tablet that has wifi hotspot enabled allowing one's phone to connect and display everything onto a bigger screen (other than a laptop/desktop) would be awesome to have as an alternative.
You're a LEGEND for sharing this brother! Thank you so much! 😊 Still a bit of video quality deterioration and stuttering, but still a much better improvement from the previous version. I'm trying to capture Clash of Clans from my S6 lite to my PC (with a 3070 super GPU)...even bought a 10gbps usb-c cable, but still have some lag. I'll figure it out, but thank you so much for your help in finding a free alternative to screen mirroring! 👏👏👏
thank you so much for this video! i found out this amazing software more than a month ago but it seemed to confusing to install so i put it on pause now you made this simple and easy tutorial! thank you eta prime!
What a coincidence! I have just finished setting up Scrcpy on my ThinkPad X220 to cast my Android phone playing a PS2 emulator. This is because my phone can handle the PS2 emulator at 1080p. Now, I just need to find a way to play using the gamepad connected to my laptop.
@@estusflask982 I can't because my wireless gamepad is an old one that used proprietary bluetooth USB A dongle, the only solution is to buy an USB A to mini USB C converter but I want to used my phone usb C port to cast for better latency.
Well, this one caught me by surprise. I'm still trying to make it work wireless, but wired it's almost flawless, even on a USB 2 device like my Redmi Note 11. Amazing stuff. Stuff like this is why i follow this channel.
Thanks so much for this ! It's perfect for what I use it for. Now I can play cod mobile on the big screen without using an emulator and I can use a controller without it being extremely difficult to setup or hard to use. Nice !
I've been trying to use this for streaming mobile games from my pcA few things to note : °It relies on your phone cpu to cast to the pc °once your phobe begins to overheat and throttle the resolution being cast to the pc will drop °if it continues to throttle your games will begin to stutter and lag Tends to crash while overheating Use this with a phone cooler or higher end phone All my testing was done on a poco x4 gt (8Gb) and Huawei P40 lite playing call of duty mobile (might just be my phones though ) Night just be my phob
I was out of the loop when I was using ScrCpy and SndCpy. With Version 2.0, now I can only use either one cmd or GuiScrcpy. PyQt5 client is buggy on the audio side (For my laptop or phone) so I used the PySide2 client to fix audio issue. It is still a perfect alternative for expensive mirroring software for Android devices. When recording or streaming rhythm games, however, it may have frame skips when mirroring but recording with this software does not show frame skips and audio latency may be tolerable.
Though I'm not a gamer. Thia set up not only utilizes work tech, but dose soooo. Much More obviously visually. Then the on board Outlook app texting and calling, messaging system. On the Windows10,11 pc. which uses the blue tooth. In which all a person has to do is. Tap the phone to wake.And answer calls just from wireless pods.
Also even if you have a device with display out being able to integrate it into your desktop monitors without a separate monitors is nice. Only reason I stopped using it was android 11 I believe introduced a security flag api that prevented certain apps like teams and others that use it from displaying over it. Other than that it's great.
I want to thank you for this Video. You're a life saver. At home I can play COD mobile on a big screen with controller now. It works fantastic. Very happy. No more having to squint when players are at a distance and it being so small
A side note, just remember to pull out the cable connection after your battery phone reach 100% . My battery phone become bigger because im using cable connection at 100% battery ( for prolong gaming)
I believe it works well and it's exactly what I'm looking for, but my phone doesn't seem to respond to my mouse clicks. Maybe because it's a Xiaomi or maybe it just doesn't work for me at all. Great vid though!
@@fastforward-oz9zd you mean you wanna play android games but with wasd buttons? Blue stack maybe if you using laptop and wanna play android games with wasd
Hi I know its too late for asking but is the app secure and not risky to use? Its that some apps which are not from Play Store can be harmful to the phone and files in storage and is the USB debugging safe to have it "ON" all the time.
@Carl Gunderson Link to Windows / Phone Link has major issues with pixelated video. And you can't fullscreen it. Also it just lets you stream each app individually, you don't have access to the whole Android interface.
@Carl Gunderson the publisher is no longer listed as Tahlreth, and there is code now that supports ads, but doesn't seem to enabled, at least from what I've seen. I tried to figure out more about what was going on, but there were a bunch of childish accusations and innuendo going around that Tahlreth is sabotaging the emulator. But like I said, at least in the games I tested, performance was better. Just very murky about what's going on
It doesn't work, I did everything that was said and how it was done in the video, enabled USB debugging, plugged in and ran the program after running ADB. The window opens to close immediately, do I need a USB-C to USB-C cable, or can I use a USB-C to USB-A cable?
i love using scrcpy since 2019 but the annoying is no audio forwarding but now i'll give a try since they have a audio forwarding the cons is some games need to disable usb debugging like fortnite mobile, pubg mobile/new state
Nice for putting out to display though requires a PC connected to a large display. Too bad on my Poco phone I can't control the phone with the mouse. OBS is also crashing and buggy with this software running.
I love using it for PUBG mobile because im endidng up in mobile lobbies and i would be with emulator players otherwise which would be awful because a good emulator player is far beyond a good mobile player and its so good for collecting clips because it really looks liek you are on a phone.
bruh i cant get the thing to connect i have the usb debugging on and my usb option to file tranfer but when i click on start it says in the command box ERROR No ADB device found
@@estusflask982 they are... I had this working a long time ago but stopped using it until recently... couldnt get it working... and tried this 2.0 and same issue.. debugging is on and plugged direct into PC via USB cable and the GUI app still tells me no devices found... Ran the ADP exe and everything mentioned here... nothing.... so frustrating
@@neccros007 That's weird. Subnet doesn't even matter if using USB instead of Wifi. Are you sure your USB port is working? Or maybe an antivirus program is blocking it.
Is there something like this but for a chromebook? I have a not to powerful chromebook, but it has a great 17-inch screen and sound, so it would be great to be able to connect my phone to it.
It's funny how companies like this are capable of doing this but then you got people who make VR glasses are incapable of making their products work with all phones This is why I criticise these VR glasses companies other people don't because they got phones that work
I use scrcpy almost every day for mobile development instead of an Emulator. It's a nice workflow.
I never thought of this...Thanks dude!
Don't need it with the latest version of Android studio. It has it built in.
In my work scrcpy is so much more easy to setup than any emulator out there, its really good
I have old Android phone...
Will this work?
@@sarasagar76 If it supports otg and has USB debugging then I think yes. Try it out
Seems like a good fix for all those Android-based gaming devices that do NOT have HDMI output.
@@JamesDatWork not responsive enough
finally a scrcpy video that is explained well and easily to people like me who aren't tech savvy, thanks you so much!

I have an old fire 7 tablet that would be perfect for scrcpy use. Someone was working on an apk for it but I think they stopped on 2021.
This was my first thought. I've got a couple tablets I'd love to control remotely in the car for kids.
Is screen mirroring like this need the tablet / pc to be powerful?
Definitely. 11" tablet with a relatively slow soc plus phone with much higher powered soc equals a lot of functionality in a small space.

One of the most useful utilities for phones that we have seen in a while.
Scrcpy is a must have for me. It even works on an atom aspire netbook with the right settings.

now i can actually hear the audio without needing another software installed on my phone
Thanks ! You've made the better tutorial or SCRCPY. Others didn't worked for me.
Thanks so much for this ! It's perfect for what I use it for. Now I can play cod mobile on the big screen without using an emulator and I can use a controller without it being extremely difficult to setup or hard to use. Nice !
May I ask how you mapped the keys for codm?
I tried it and it works nicely. Thanks, ETA PRIME!
Exactly what I have been looking for. Thanks for this.
Great video!
Now I can finally mirror games on my pc.
Thank you so much 😉
after all that searching I finally found the perfect app. thanks!
Excellent Brother, wonderful video. greatly explained . Love this
I've been trying to use this for streaming mobile games from my pcA few things to note :
°It relies on your phone cpu to cast to the pc
°once your phobe begins to overheat and throttle the resolution being cast to the pc will drop
°if it continues to throttle your games will begin to stutter and lag
Tends to crash while overheating
Use this with a phone cooler or higher end phone
All my testing was done on a poco x4 gt (8Gb) and Huawei P40 lite playing call of duty mobile (might just be my phones though )
Night just be my phob
Thanks ETA Prime. This is really helpful.
This came at the perfect time man thanks your a life saver
super cool! did it with s21fe, its faster than dex/smartview on pc. it would be cooler if we can also force our phone display to 16 by 9 though...
Thanks for letting me know that scrcpy 2.0 has audio
After many year , update has become🤧🤝. Thx Eta

thank u so much bro ive been looking for smth like this for ages
This is something Android needs to work on the most they are not very streamer friendly which is why most mobile game streamers use ipads
How is the iPad better for mobile game streamers?
WAY better than apower mirror and this one is free, just ty man
This is awesome brother thank you! will use this in combination with OBS to stream. Thanks again
Did it work with OBS for you?
@@ABNRONE yes its working
Wow thank you for this awesome tutorial. By the way the PyQt5 version didn't work on my PC so I had to use the PySide2 version instead.
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 Thank you!!! they removed hdmi usbc on my one plus 8 ona past update . you are the man 🙏🙏
@@bulletpunch9317 yes i wanted to literally weep behind that ..... they broke a ton of awesome functions with the update
Thanks for Sharing. Does help learning new app features to experience mobile connectivity freedom.
What model is your notebook? I want to know the scrcpy requirements and which USB C are you using?
thanks man, you are the goat!
No mouse control for me. I only see the screen. Windows 11 and Redmi Note 9 pro
Fantastic ;) thx ETA.

Thanks for the guide
A really useful program!
Thank you very much for the explanation, you are right. But it did not work for me on my Windows 7 computer.
It's literally the best thing EVER!
Love this program ive used it a few times before.
I have dex for windows but is good to have this as a second option.

That is FN Awesome will it work on Chromebook & Shield TV?
A side note, just remember to pull out the cable connection after your battery phone reach 100% .
My battery phone become bigger because im using cable connection at 100% battery ( for prolong gaming)
You should not use that battery anymore it could catch fire
Your phone might be swollen afterwards
Get the battery replaced before it explodes.
This would have been a life saver before Windows Subsystem for Android got good and Google Play Games launching on Windows 11 (and Windows 10?)
Google Play Games doesn't have the emulators on it.
I believe it works well and it's exactly what I'm looking for, but my phone doesn't seem to respond to my mouse clicks. Maybe because it's a Xiaomi or maybe it just doesn't work for me at all. Great vid though!
this trick will be helpful for creating tutorial type videos
