FAQ

Computer cannot detect device after connecting

1. Please unplug and reconnect your device, and make sure the device has granted USB debugging authorization.
2. If it still doesn't work, your computer may be missing necessary drivers. Please install drivers using third-party tools such as DriverWizard and try again.

Unable to enter Chinese

In Scrcpy@2.4+ and above, the solution is as follows:

1. Escrcpy Settings: Go to Preferences → Input Control → Keyboard Mode and select uhid mode.
2. Device Input Method Preparation: Install an input method that supports physical keyboards (WeChat Input Method is recommended) and complete the setup.
3. Start Mirroring: Click Start Mirroring in Escrcpy. Verification: The device’s Settings → System → Language & Input should display options for Physical Keyboard and On-screen Keyboard.
4. Device Input Settings: Enable WeChat Input Method in the On-screen Keyboard settings. Configure the keyboard layout in the Physical Keyboard settings to match the computer keyboard (only needs to be done once).
5. Computer Input Preparation: Set the input mode to English (important).
6. Switch Input Language: Use Ctrl + Shift to switch between English and Chinese.
7. Start Using.

Wireless connection prompts: The target computer actively refuses access

The first wireless connection may require pairing. Alternatively, insert USB to ensure connection establishment and authorization success before using wireless.

Clicking wireless mode after connecting via data cable has no response

Please click again, or click refresh devices. Generally it will not exceed two clicks. If still not working, please provide device model and Android version to Issues

Why is the device interaction control bar not designed as an automatically sticking floating menu?

It is important to note that, in principle, Escrcpy is just a GUI version based on Scrcpy, although it does extend some functionality. However, these extensions do not affect the core of Scrcpy. To implement this particular feature, I would have to modify the underlying Scrcpy code, which would make it more difficult for Escrcpy to stay in sync with Scrcpy's updates, and the drawbacks would outweigh the benefits.

Therefore, after careful consideration, we have decided to adopt the existing solution and look forward to Scrcpy adding native support for an interactive control bar in the future.

Some devices can see screenshots after connecting but cannot operate

Note: For Xiaomi phones in particular, it requires not only enabling USB debugging but also enabling USB debugging (Security Settings), which is to allow modifying permissions or simulating clicks via USB debugging.

Please refer to the detailed instructions under Reasons why mouse and keyboard do not work

Downloading prompts antivirus detection causing unable to download normally

After feedback, Windows Defender may occasionally block the software packages from being downloaded due to lack of certificate signing. You can try the following solutions:

1. Open Windows Security Center.
2. Select Virus & threat protection.
3. In the Virus & threat protection settings, click Manage settings.
4. Find Real-time protection, you can try clicking Disable if permission allows. If unable to disable real-time protection, please skip this step.
5. Scroll down the page, find Exclusions, click Add or remove exclusions.
6. Add the folder path where you download the software packages as an exclusion item, i.e. add the folder to the Excluded list.

Failed to get device list or error when starting mirroring/recording

This is generally caused by an incorrect path for Adb or Scrcpy, you can try the following solutions:

1. In the menu, select Preferences and then click the reset configuration button in the top right corner of Global Mode.
2. Go to the Device List page and try enabling mirroring again.
3. Make sure you have downloaded and installed the latest version of Escrcpy.
4. Press Ctrl + Shift + I to open the developer tools and check for any error messages.
5. If there are errors, take a screenshot and submit your issue with the screenshot on the Feedback Issues page.

macOS window minimized to system tray icon not found

This is generally caused by too many icons in the system tray overflowing and hiding the Escrcpy icon. Try using the following tools:

• iBar
• Bartender

After a successful installation of macOS, when I try to open it, I receive a prompt saying the file is damaged.

This is usually due to the software package not being signed. You can try the following solutions:

1. Open Terminal and execute sudo spctl --master-disable to allow software from any source.
2. Open Terminal and execute sudo xattr -r -d com.apple.quarantine [AppPath] to attempt fixing the damaged software package prompt.

Unable to locate the input point DiscardvirtualMemory on the dynamic link library Kernel32.dll.

Only support Windows 10 and above versions.

Audio capture exception causing mirroring failure.

This usually happens because your computer lacks audio output or you have a low Android version (Android 11+).

Please try disabling audio forwarding feature through the preferences settings to resolve this issue.

Microsoft Store version mirror startup error

This is caused by files in the installation directory lacking executable permissions.

You need to customize the file paths for scrcpy and adb (ensuring they have executable permissions). If using reverse tethering, configure gnirehtet similarly.

Could not execute "adb start-server"

This might be due to Chinese or special characters in the installation path. Please try changing the installation path.
