One of the favorite Android screen mirroring apps is Scrcpy, which lets you connect your phone directly to your PC and show what’s on it. There are other tools that can accomplish the same thing; for example, Microsoft Phone Link provides a more refined version of the same experience.
But Scrcpy’s extensive feature set which includes support for gamepads, audio forwarding, and more—keeps it shining. Adding support for virtual displays is the newest update, which takes it even further.
With its many new features and improvements, Scrcpy 3.0 is a major update. The most notable feature is the ability to generate and mirror a secondary display to your PC, bypassing the main screen altogether. This allows you to multitask between using your phone and displaying an app on your computer.
Most Android devices will show a secondary launcher activity on the virtual display, as pointed out by Scrcpy’s creator in GitHub commit #5370. A blank screen will be displayed in the absence of a launcher. When this happens, you’ll need to use Scrcpy’s command line to manually launch the Android app.
Another minor but noteworthy change is the availability of pre-compiled binaries for Linux and macOS, which were previously unavailable.
Most Android users who own Windows PCs should be able to satisfy their screen mirroring needs with Microsoft Phone Link. If you’re on a Mac or want more advanced capabilities, Scrcpy is a great alternative for quickly mirroring the screen of your Android phone.
Scrpy 3.0 is available for download in the Assets section of the project’s GitHub website. Keep in mind that Scrcpy’s command-line approach sets it apart from other Android screen mirroring applications. Because of this, the program is not user-friendly for those without technical knowledge; nevertheless, there is extensive documentation and guidance for all the necessary commands on the GitHub page.
