Scrcpy v1.12.1 Free Download | Control your Android Smartphone from your PC

Control your Android Smartphone from your PC for free with scrcpy 1.12.1

smartphones are an essential part of modern life. To some people, the phone is even more important than a standard computer. A lot of people sit at computers all day, but they still have to check their phone for certain things. A new tool called “scrcpy” allows you to display your phone screen on your computer with just a USB connection and ADB. No root required.

The developer says scrcpy works on Windows, Mac, and Linux. It works by executing a server on the device. scrcpy communicates with the server via a socket over an ADB tunnel. Your screen is streamed as an h.264 video, which is then decoded and displayed by scrcpy. Keyboard and mouse input is sent to the server and pushed to the device. scrcpy focuses on lightness, high-performance, high-quality, low latency, fast start-up, and non-intrusive. Here’s how to get it set up.

Set up ADB access on your machine.
Open up a command prompt or terminal inside the previously extracted folder, and enter scrcpy. That’s it!
Interacting with the phone is a simple as you would expect. Just click to tap and click and drag to swipe. App orientation should also be translated to the screen.

Features Scrcpy v1.12.1:

lightness (native, displays only the device screen)
performance (30~60fps)
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 device)

Requirements

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

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

On some devices, you also need to enable an additional option to control it using a keyboard and mouse.
