Display and control your Android device using "scrcpy" application

 


What is scrcpy?

As mentioned in Readme.md, this application (scrcpy) 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.

For Linux users like myself, It's easy to follow the guide, however, the 3rd step might be overlooked the step to connect your device using a USB cable, then proceed to step 3.
