"Scrcpy" is a command-line tool used to display and control Android devices connected to a computer wirelessly or via a USB cable. It allows users to mirror the screen of their Android device on their computer, providing a larger viewing area and easier control.

When you execute the "scrcpy" command, it launches the scrcpy program with default settings. However, there are various options that can be used with the scrcpy command to customize the behavior of the program. For example, you can specify the device to connect to, change the screen resolution, adjust the bit rate, and more.

Here is a basic example of how to use the "scrcpy" command:

  1. Make sure you have Android Debug Bridge (ADB) installed on your computer.
  2. Connect your Android device to the computer via USB or ensure that both the device and the computer are connected to the same Wi-Fi network.
  3. Open a terminal or command prompt on your computer.
  4. Run the "scrcpy" command.

This will start scrcpy and display your Android device's screen on your computer. You can then interact with your device using the computer's keyboard and mouse.
