How to capture android screen  on windows  using scrcpy

What is scrcpy?

scrcpy  is a small open-source program that allows you to:

  • displaying the phone screen on a computer (mirroring),

  • control the phone with a mouse and a basic,

  • record screen to video file,

  • work via  USB

It works on any Android (from 5.0 and up) and does not require installing anything on the phone.

Step 1. Download scrcpy

  1. Visit the official project website:
    https://bit.ly/Zmieszo-SCRCPY-download

  2. Scroll down to the  Releases section  and download the Windows version (  scrcpy-win64.zip).

  3. Unzip the ZIP file to any folder, e.g.  C:\scrcpy.

Done! Inside, among other things, is a file  scrcpy.exe—that's the program we can use.
There's no need to install any "platform tools" or SDK—everything you need is in this ZIP.

Step 2. Enable USB debugging on your mobile phone

  1. Open  Settings → About phone
    and tap  Device number  7 times until you see a message that you have become a developer.

  2. Go back to settings and enter  developer options  .

  3. Enable  USB Debugging  .

  4. Connect your phone to your computer with a cable and accept the "Allow USB debugging" message.

Step 3. Run scrcpy

  1. Open the folder where you unpacked scrcpy.

  2. Double click  scrcpy.exe.

If everything is OK, a window from your phone will now appear.
You can control it with your mouse and phone, drag and drop files (e.g., photos, APKs), and paste text from the clipboard.
