[@Diemermakes]

I use scrcpy almost every day for mobile development instead of an Emulator. It's a nice workflow.

[@tauqeerdarve4876]

I never thought of this...Thanks dude!

[@ramppage]

Don't need it with the latest version of Android studio. It has it built in.

[@rinzle3r]

In my work scrcpy is so much more easy to setup than any emulator out there, its really good

[@sarasagar76]

I have old Android phone... Will this work?

[@tauqeerdarve4876]

@@sarasagar76 If it supports otg and has USB debugging then I think yes. Try it out

[@Hconinja]

finally a scrcpy video that is explained well and easily to people like me who aren't tech savvy, thanks you so much!

[@JamesDatWork]

Seems like a good fix for all those Android-based gaming devices that do NOT have HDMI output.

[@hishamkool]

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.💖

[@srvuk]

One of the most useful utilities for phones that we have seen in a while.

[@feetenthusiast1015]

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!

[@ggfools]

I was using Bluestacks and this is so much better, added benefit of giving new life to an old phone that was sitting in a drawer.

[@badmanners619]

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! 👏👏👏

[@XaeonBE]

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

[@ruxcooking]

Scrcpy is a must have for me. It even works on an atom aspire netbook with the right settings.

[@Boba_Fett1980]

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 !

[@bengbeng319]

May I ask how you mapped the keys for codm?

After many year , update has become🤧🤝. Thx Eta

[@wheelzone188]

[@remimag1012]

Thanks ! You've made the better tutorial or SCRCPY. Others didn't worked for me.

[@LlerymPlays]

Thank you so much for this!! I've been struggling to get my video capture card to work in obs but no audio.. You're the GOAT!

[@AnaKey2002]

Great video! Now I can finally mirror games on my pc. Thank you so much 😉

[@NE-oj4be]

i've been using the old scrcpy, thank you for this now i can actually hear the audio without needing another software installed on my phone

[@OsakaSan]

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.

[@finalblast3825]

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.

[@ruxcooking]

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.

[@zuko9085]

This was my first thought. I've got a couple tablets I'd love to control remotely in the car for kids.

[@warior1195]

Is screen mirroring like this need the tablet / pc to be powerful?

[@danh2716]

Definitely. 11" tablet with a relatively slow soc plus phone with much higher powered soc equals a lot of functionality in a small space.

[@kuyache2]

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...

[@dennis_woo]

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.

[@l0g1cseer47]

Thanks for Sharing. Does help learning new app features to experience mobile connectivity freedom.

This came at the perfect time man thanks your a life saver

[@LivresAudio]

Fantastic ;) thx ETA.

[@koketsomokotsi1788]

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

[@SageNevaRan]

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 Thank you!!! they removed hdmi usbc on my one plus 8 ona past update . you are the man 🙏🙏

[@SageNevaRan]

@@bulletpunch9317 yes i wanted to literally weep behind that ..... they broke a ton of awesome functions with the update

[@tinboy752_]

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.

[@sooriyanramachandran8142]

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.

[@ombra9674]

WAY better than apower mirror and this one is free, just ty man

[@illuminati_05]

Thanks for letting me know that scrcpy 2.0 has audio

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.

Connect your gamepad to your phone?

[@ihateweebs7890]

What oliver white said

[@wongsaraf]

@@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.

@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

[@ojmit32gaming]

I tried this on my Lenovo Legion Tab Y700 but can't seem to capture audio. It's already Android 12 so as per git hub it should've worked automatically, is there anything I should do? Bit rate is already at max. Can it be a usb-c cable issue?

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.
