Troubleshooting SCRCPY

If you’re having trouble using SCRCPY, here are a few things to check:

  • Make sure that your device is connected to your computer via USB and that you have enabled USB debugging on the device.
  • Ensure that SCRCPY is in the PATH on your computer. If you installed scrcpy using the Windows installer, it should be in the PATH by default. On macOS or Linux, you may need to add the SCRCPY installation directory to your PATH manually.
  • Check the version of SCRCPY on your computer and the version of adb on your computer. Scrcpy and adb should be compatible.
  • Check that adb can detect your device. Try running the command “adb devices” on the command line. This should return a list of connected devices, with the device that you’re trying to use scrcpy with listed as “device.”
  • Run the command “SCRCPY” command on your command line, it may give more clear message on the error you are facing
  • If you are using the Linux and get the error libGL error: No matching fbConfigs or visuals found, you can install the package mesa-libgl
