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:

bash

scrcpy

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

bash

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

Documentation for command line arguments is available:

scrcpy --help
on github

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:

bash

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

Add --pause-on-exit=if-error if you want the console to remain open when scrcpy fails:

bash

scrcpy --prefer-text --turn-screen-off --stay-awake --pause-on-exit=if-error

Then just double-click on that file to run it.

To start scrcpy without opening a terminal, double-click scrcpy-noconsole.vbs (note that errors won't be shown). To pass arguments, edit (a copy of) scrcpy-noconsole.vbs and add the desired arguments.
