Scrpy has been such a great tool!
There is another project inspired by scrcpy (I think) called sndcpy but it's no longer maintained it seems, so I'm very glad to see these capabilities added to scrcpy.
I've been trying in the past and failed to setup an A2DP + Bluez to allow me to use my desktop machine as a handset for my android phone. I know that such tools exist for Windows but couldn't to work well on Mac or Linux.
If Scrcpy had a bi-directional audio copy (i.e. mount a mic), it would probably be able to do just that.

This app and its sister app, Gnirehtet, were essential to me as an Android dev in a corporate environment. It's very cool to see them continuing to ship features in the face of Android Studio releasing mirroring and remote control. I am excited to check out this update!

Used scrcpy on Friday to recover/access data from a phone with a mostly broke screen. Very impressive. Straightforward and easy to use.

scrcpy (mnemonic SCReen CoPY) is such a cool, unique, easily googlable & memorable name.
I pray to God to give me this wisdom everytime I am goofing off on instantdomainsearch.
---------edit:-
Why scrcpy?
A colleague challenged me to find a
name as unpronounceable as gnirehtet.
strcpy copies a string; scrcpy copies a screen.

78,000 stars, 2096 commits, of which Romain has 87%, and he only has one GitHub sponsor:

and two LiberaPay sponsors:

who donate a combined 3 euro per month. If you can afford it, please send this guy some money, he has earned it many times over.

Big fan of scrcpy from a consumer usage perspective because I can access mobile-first apps (like Hinge, which doesn't have webchat) while still being able to use my keyboard and mouse to input.

Anyone know of a scrcpy for windows/mac/Linux? If not, why has there not been a “wired” screen mirroring tool for desktop os? Is it just more difficult than doing it for android?

Scrcpy was a tool that I used everyday during my android dev years!
Really cool to see audio integrated into scrcpy without having to use sndcpy - https://github.com/rom1v/sndcpy

I wonder if this could be used to finally get universal audio streaming from the device, kind of like airplay. Perhaps using the received audio stream to create an internet radio station, which could then be played by most multiroom speakers, without needing specific support for each player app on the device.

Been using this for a while now - love it! Fantastic tool, simple and super reliable, just works out of the box!

iOS devices can use AirPlay to Mac [1]. There's various commercial "AirPlay receiver" products for Windows too. XMirage gave out a bunch of licenses years ago and still seems to work ok.

just to register that I didn't know about scrcpy or gnirehtet, have no obvious need of either, but they are impressively neat!

Man I wish I could get this running on my Android Auto compatible car media thing.

Does it work with media players? Netflix, Disney, etc?

So I can use my phone as webcam now? Wirelessly?
