# Connection
|
|
|
|
## Selection
|
|
|
|
If exactly one device is connected (i.e. listed by `adb devices`), then it is
|
|
automatically selected.
|
|
|
|
However, if there are multiple devices connected, you must specify the one to
|
|
use in one of 4 ways:
|
|
- by its serial:
|
|
```bash
|
|
scrcpy --serial=0123456789abcdef
|
|
scrcpy -s 0123456789abcdef # short version
|
|
|
|
# the serial is the ip:port if connected over TCP/IP (same behavior as adb)
|
|
scrcpy --serial=192.168.1.1:5555
|
|
```
|
|
- the one connected over USB (if there is exactly one):
|
|
```bash
|
|
scrcpy --select-usb
|
|
scrcpy -d # short version
|
|
```
|
|
- the one connected over TCP/IP (if there is exactly one):
|
|
```bash
|
|
scrcpy --select-tcpip
|
|
scrcpy -e # short version
|
|
```
|
|
- a device already listening on TCP/IP (see [below](#tcpip-wireless)):
|
|
```bash
|
|
scrcpy --tcpip=192.168.1.1:5555
|
|
scrcpy --tcpip=192.168.1.1 # default port is 5555
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The serial may also be provided via the environment variable `ANDROID_SERIAL`
|
|
(also used by `adb`):
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
# in bash
|
|
export ANDROID_SERIAL=0123456789abcdef
|
|
scrcpy
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
```cmd
|
|
:: in cmd
|
|
set ANDROID_SERIAL=0123456789abcdef
|
|
scrcpy
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
```powershell
|
|
# in PowerShell
|
|
$env:ANDROID_SERIAL = '0123456789abcdef'
|
|
scrcpy
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
## TCP/IP (wireless)
|
|
|
|
_Scrcpy_ uses `adb` to communicate with the device, and `adb` can [connect] to a
|
|
device over TCP/IP. The device must be connected on the same network as the
|
|
computer.

|
|
|
|
|
|
### Automatic
|
|
|
|
An option `--tcpip` allows to configure the connection automatically. There are
|
|
two variants.
|
|
|
|
If the device (accessible at 192.168.1.1 in this example) already listens on a
|
|
port (typically 5555) for incoming _adb_ connections, then run:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
scrcpy --tcpip=192.168.1.1 # default port is 5555
|
|
scrcpy --tcpip=192.168.1.1:5555
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
If _adb_ TCP/IP mode is disabled on the device (or if you don't know the IP
|
|
address), connect the device over USB, then run:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
scrcpy --tcpip # without arguments
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
It will automatically find the device IP address and adb port, enable TCP/IP
|
|
mode if necessary, then connect to the device before starting.
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Manual
|
|
|
|
Alternatively, it is possible to enable the TCP/IP connection manually using
|
|
`adb`:
|
|
|
|
1. Plug the device into a USB port on your computer.
|
|
2. Connect the device to the same Wi-Fi network as your computer.
|
|
3. Get your device IP address, in Settings → About phone → Status, or by
|
|
executing this command:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
adb shell ip route | awk '{print $9}'
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
4. Enable `adb` over TCP/IP on your device: `adb tcpip 5555`.
|
|
5. Unplug your device.
|
|
6. Connect to your device: `adb connect DEVICE_IP:5555` _(replace `DEVICE_IP`
|
|
with the device IP address you found)_.
|
|
7. Run `scrcpy` as usual.
|
|
8. Run `adb disconnect` once you're done.
|
|
|
|
Since Android 11, a [wireless debugging option][adb-wireless] allows to bypass
|
|
having to physically connect your device directly to your computer.

## Autostart
|
|
|
|
A small tool (by the scrcpy author) allows to run arbitrary commands whenever a
|
|
new Android device is connected: [AutoAdb]. It can be used to start scrcpy:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
autoadb scrcpy -s '{}'
|
|
```
