Comment summary: Scrcpy is praised for its simplicity, effectiveness, and open-source availability. Users find it easy to mirror and control Android devices with minimal lag. While it is a strong free alternative to Vysor, some users experience minor freezing on older devices. It can be installed across several platforms, and YouTube tutorials assist those needing help with setup on specific systems. Scrcpy is considered highly useful and works smoothly overall.

Best free alternative to Visor, but little bit freezing on my old tablet.

I've read the "How does it Work?" I have no clue what they are talking about. But it does? Had some guidance from youtube vids for installation on Mac (currenly Monterey). Works a dream, Thanks to developers.

What is scrcpy?

This application mirrors Android devices (video and audio) connected on USB and WiFi, 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.

IT FOCUSES ON:

  • lightness: native, displays only the device screen
  • performance: 30~120fps, depending on the device
  • 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
  • user benefits: no account, no ads, no internet required
  • freedom: free and open source software

ITS FEATURES INCLUDE:

  • audio forwarding (Android >= 11)
  • recording
  • mirroring with Android device screen off
  • copy-paste in both directions
  • configurable quality
  • Android device as a webcam (V4L2) (Linux-only)
  • physical keyboard/mouse simulation (HID)
  • OTG mode

HOW DOES IT WORK?

  • The application executes a server on the device. The client and the server communicate via a socket over an adb tunnel.
  • The server streams a video stream of the device screen. The client decodes the video frames and displays them. For Android 11+, the server also streams an audio stream of the device audio output, that the client decodes and plays.
  • The client captures input (keyboard and mouse) events, sends them to the server, which injects them to the device.
