The release of the Scrcpy 2.0 application has been published, which allows you to mirror the contents of the smartphone screen in a stationary user environment with the ability to control the device, remotely work in mobile applications using the keyboard and mouse, view video and listen to sound. Client programs for smartphone management are prepared for Linux, Windows and macOS. The project code is written in C language (mobile application in Java) and distributed under the Apache 2.0 license.
Smartphone connection can be made via USB or TCP/IP. A server application is launched on the smartphone, which interacts with an external system through a tunnel organized using the adb utility. Root access to the device is not required. The server application generates a video stream (choice of H.264, H.265 or AV1) with the content of the smartphone screen, and the client decodes and displays the video. Keyboard input and mouse events are broadcast to the server and substituted into the Android input system.
