Real-time manipulations on mobile

There are many manipulations that can be done on mobile using scrcpy. Some of them are listed below with an example. Type the following commands in the command prompt.

Connect multiple devices

This tool allows users to connect multiple devices simultaneously. You just need to follow these simple steps to make it work. First, turn USB debugging on for all the devices and connect them to the PC. Then, list all the devices which are recognized by adb by running the following command.

adb devices

Now, for each device listed in the output, copy its serial number and run the following command. Replace SERIAL_NUM with the serial number of the device.

scrcpy --serial SERIAL_NUM

It will display all the devices on the screen.

Reduce size

You can also mirror the device’s screen at a lower resolution to increase performance.

scrcpy --max-size 720 

It preserves the aspect ratio of the screen.

Limit frame rate

 You can also change the frame rate of the captured screen.

scrcpy --max-fps 10 

Crop screen

 Sometimes, you only need to display a part of the screen, so, you can so that with this feature.

scrcpy --crop 1224:1440:0:0 

Record screen:

 You can also record the screen while mirroring.

scrcpy --record myrecording.mp4 

Full-screen:

 You can start the app directly in full-screen mode.
