Run

Make sure that your device meets the prerequisites.

Scrcpy is a command line application: it is mainly intended to be executed from a terminal with command line arguments.

To open a terminal at the expected location, double-click on open_a_terminal_here.bat in your scrcpy directory, then type your command. For example, without arguments:

scrcpy

or with arguments (here to disable audio and record to file.mkv):

scrcpy --no-audio --record=file.mkv

Documentation for command line arguments is available:

To start scrcpy directly without opening a terminal, double-click on one of these files:

  • scrcpy-console.bat: start with a terminal open (it will close when scrcpy terminates, unless an error occurs);
  • scrcpy-noconsole.vbs: start without a terminal (but you won't see any error message).

Avoid double-clicking on scrcpy.exe directly: on error, the terminal would close immediately and you won't have time to read any error message (this executable is intended to be run from the terminal). Use scrcpy-console.bat instead.

If you plan to always use the same arguments, create a file myscrcpy.bat (enable show file extensions to avoid confusion) containing your command, For example:

scrcpy --prefer-text --turn-screen-off --stay-awake

Then just double-click on that file.

You could also edit (a copy of) scrcpy-console.bat or scrcpy-noconsole.vbs to add some arguments.
