Other notable features:

* Works in tandem with upstream android adb, so after usb(or wireless) debugging is enabled on the target device, there are no apps daemons or hacks needed and it just works.

* Install apks that are "unavailable for your device" in the official google play store (on things like chromecasts)

* Full Screen or screen section + audio recording

* Stream device screen when it's physically off on target device.

* scrcpy cli runs on macOS, Windows and Linux as well as containerized

* Option to connect over USB for insane performance and resolution

It's an excellent piece of software, our team uses it throughout our workdays. Kudos to the devs for building and sharing with the world.

I'm sure there are many more practical uses, but it's great for automating mobile games.

Works well for streaming video from a Quest 2 to a computer.

Is there a reverse scrcpy where I see my computer screen on Android? No need for control, just mirroring screen is enough.

VNC server/client?

I have tried a number of times to connect a phone with broken/dead screen. Touch and audio works.

I have probably managed to enter pin and login but clicking 'Allow usb debugging' checkbox when I run scrcpy is apparently impossible or may be I am missing from some other critical step.

Has someone done anything like that using this tool? It seems like a perfect use case.

Can you share more about using scrcpy to install APKs that are unavailable for the device via Play?
