How to show the phone screen on a PC using scrcpy

Guides and tips 1 minUpdated 2026-06-07

This feature requires the Real-phones module, which is not included in the standard license and is purchased separately.

scrcpy is used to mirror the image and audio of Android devices connected via USB or TCP/IP, and to control them with the computer's keyboard and mouse without needing root access or installing extra apps on the device.

Instructions:

  1. Install the scrcpy app for PC win64. Download from GitHub.
  2. In UniMessenger (the same applies to UniInstagram), in the bottom part of the Accounts tab, change the device and path: instead of emulators, pick "Phone".

Specify the path to adb.exe in the scrcpy app folder (see Screen 2).

  1. Make sure the device is set up and connected to the PC correctly.

  1. In the opened console, enter the command:

./scrcpy.exe

If only one device is connected to the computer, its screen will open immediately.

  1. If two or more devices are connected to the PC, you need to specify which device to open.

To do this, enter a command with the device identifier: ./scrcpy.exe -s [Identifier]

Examples of how the commands with identifier look (see Screen 3): ./scrcpy.exe -s 863d00583048303634510621d288bb ./scrcpy.exe -s RF8M90SHK2P
