Pros
- It's a free, open-source mirroring tool that allows you to run your Android smartphone as a standalone window on your desktop.
- The software enables you to complete tasks, run apps, and access media stored on your Android device directly from your Windows computer.
- Scrcpy offers the ability to control your phone using keyboard shortcuts, record screens and share files with ease.
- The software also provides an option to launch the mirrored device horizontally or vertically which is useful when recording tutorials or gameplay sessions.
- There are several built-in shortcuts in the application that allow you to rotate the screen, restart the device, copy and paste text, turn off the phone, and more.
Cons
- Setting up Scrcpy can be challenging as it requires enabling USB debugging and adjusting several settings.
- Scrcpy effectively mirrors video to a PC screen but doesn't support audio forwarding; sound remains on the phone when playing games or videos.
- Wireless connections via ADB tunneling are possible to avoid cable hassles but require technical expertise, which may not suit all users.
- Scrcpy doesn't require root access, so certain root-dependent functions might be unavailable in this environment.
- Smooth performance relies on stable, high-speed internet; connection drops may result in noticeable lag during intensive applications or gaming.
