Highlights
Camera Capture
The previous minor version introduced --audio-source=mic to transmit the microphone instead of the device audio output.
This new version introduces --video-source=camera to mirror the device camera instead of the device screen.
A bunch of new options have been added:
--list-cameras--list-camera-sizes--camera-id=--camera-facing=--camera-ar=--camera-size=--camera-fps=--camera-high-speed
For example:
scrcpy --video-source=camera --camera-facing=front --camera-size=1920x1080
Check the camera documentation for more details.
Android 14
Since the last scrcpy version, Android 14 has been released.
Unfortunately, several scrcpy features have been broken by changes in this new Android version:
--turn-screen-off(#3927): some internal functions have been removed, without replacement that scrcpy could use (it seems it also impacts the feature in Android Studio)--lock-video-orientation(not window--rotation, which is independent) (#4011): some function parameters are now ignored--crop(also #4011): some function parameters are now ignored
Reported to Google/Android: issue 303565669
