Control an Android phone from a PC

 I have started to make som videos for YouTube again. In some of them I might show people how different apps work on my phone. There is a way to control my Android phone from the PC.

I use a software called scrcpy for this. In the embedded video down below I show you how it works.
This solution works with Android tablets as well, not just the phone. You can use either WiFi or USB. With USB the phone need to have debugging enabled.

So, these are the steps to make it work.

If you going to use this over USB you need to enable debugging on your phone

Download scrcpy-win64 and extract the folder inside the zip file

Connect phone or tablet to WiFi and/or USB

Double-click on "open_a_terminal_here"

If you use WiFi the command is

scrcpy --select-tcpip

If you use USB the command is

scrcpy --select-usb
