Welcome to the latest update on scrcpy, where we dive into the exciting world of scrcpy v2.2. In this release, scrcpy introduces some noteworthy features, including camera capture capabilities and compatibility updates for Android 14.
Whether you’re a seasoned scrcpy user or new to this powerful tool for mirroring and controlling Android devices, this article will walk you through the key changes and enhancements in scrcpy v2.2.
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-speedFor example:
scrcpy --video-source=camera --camera-facing=front --camera-size=1920x1080
Check the camera documentation for more details.
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 ignoredReported to Google/Android: issue 303565669

Its defaults are sensible: block all incoming connections, allow all outgoing connections. No outside traffic reaches your server unless you explicitly open a port. This guide covers how to configure a UFW firewall on Ubuntu 18.04, from setting default policies and application profiles to writing allow and deny rules for specific ports, IPs, and subnets. <strong>Prerequisite:</strong> You need sudo access.
