Scrcpy commands:

Type Scrcpy before entering all these commands .

--always-on-top

Make scrcpy window always on top (above other windows).

-b, --bit-rate value

Encode the video at the given bit-rate, expressed in bits/s.

Unit suffixes are supported: 'K' (x1000) and 'M' (x1000000).

Default is 8000000.

--codec-options key[:type]=value[,...]

Set a list of comma-separated key:type=value options for the

device encoder.

The possible values for 'type' are 'int' (default), 'long',

'float' and 'string'.

The list of possible codec options is available in the

Android documentation:

<https://d.android.com/reference/android/media/MediaFormat>

--crop width:height:x:y

Crop the device screen on the server.

The values are expressed in the device natural orientation

(typically, portrait for a phone, landscape for a tablet).

Any --max-size value is computed on the cropped size.

--disable-screensaver

Disable screensaver while scrcpy is running.


--display id

Specify the display id to mirror.

The list of possible display ids can be listed by:

adb shell dumpsys display(search "mDisplayId=" in the output)

Default is 0.

--force-adb-forward

Do not attempt to use "adb reverse" to connect to the

the device.

-f, --fullscreen

Start in fullscreen.

-h, --help

Print this help.

--lock-video-orientation value

Lock video orientation to value.

Possible values are -1 (unlocked), 0, 1, 2 and 3.

Natural device orientation is 0, and each increment adds a

90 degrees rotation counterclockwise.

Default is -1 (unlocked).

--max-fps value

Limit the frame rate of screen capture (officially supported

since Android 10, but may work on earlier versions).


-m, --max-size value

Limit both the width and height of the video to value. The

other dimension is computed so that the device aspect-ratio

is preserved.

Default is 0 (unlimited).

-n, --no-control

Disable device control (mirror the device in read-only).

-N, --no-display

Do not display device (only when screen recording is

enabled).

--no-mipmaps

If the renderer is OpenGL 3.0+ or OpenGL ES 2.0+, then

mipmaps are automatically generated to improve downscaling

quality. This option disables the generation of mipmaps.

--no-key-repeat

Do not forward repeated key events when a key is held down.

-p, --port port[:port]

Set the TCP port (range) used by the client to listen.

Default is 27183:27199.

--prefer-text

Inject alpha characters and space as text events instead of

key events.

This avoids issues when combining multiple keys to enter a

special character, but breaks the expected behaviour of alpha

keys in games (typically WASD).


--push-target path

Set the target directory for pushing files to the device by

drag & drop. It is passed as-is to "adb push".

Default is "/sdcard/".

-r, --record file.mp4

Record screen to file.

The format is determined by the --record-format option if

set, or by the file extension (.mp4 or .mkv).

--record-format format

Force recording format (either mp4 or mkv).

--render-driver name

Request SDL to use the given render driver (this is just a

hint).

Supported names are currently "direct3d", "opengl",

"opengles2", "opengles", "metal" and "software".

<https://wiki.libsdl.org/SDL_HINT_RENDER_DRIVER>

--render-expired-frames

By default, to minimize latency, scrcpy always renders the

last available decoded frame, and drops any previous ones.

This flag forces to render all frames, at a cost of a

possible increased latency.

--rotation value

Set the initial display rotation.

Possibles values are 0, 1, 2 and 3. Each increment adds a 90

degrees rotation counterclockwise.


-s, --serial serial

The device serial number. Mandatory only if several devices

are connected to adb.

--shortcut-mod key[+...]][,...]

Specify the modifiers to use for scrcpy shortcuts.

Possible keys are "lctrl", "rctrl", "lalt", "ralt",

"lsuper" and "rsuper".

A shortcut can consist in several keys, separated by '+'.

Several shortcuts can be specified, separated by ','.

For example, to use either LCtrl+LAlt or LSuper for scrcpy

shortcuts, pass "lctrl+lalt,lsuper".

Default is "lalt,lsuper" (left-Alt or left-Super).

-S, --turn-screen-off

Turn the device screen off immediately.

-t, --show-touches

Enable "show touches" on start, restore the initial value

on exit.

It only shows physical touches (not clicks from scrcpy).

-v, --version

Print the version of scrcpy.


-V, --verbosity value

Set the log level (debug, info, warn or error).

Default is info.

-w, --stay-awake

Keep the device on while scrcpy is running, when the device

is plugged in.

--window-borderless

Disable window decorations (display borderless window).

--window-title text

Set a custom window title.

--window-x value

Set the initial window horizontal position.

Default is "auto".

--window-y value

Set the initial window vertical position.

Default is "auto".

--window-width value

Set the initial window width.

Default is 0 (automatic).

--window-height value

Set the initial window width.

Default is 0 (automatic).
