There's no denying that phone screens have gotten bigger and better, but nothing can match the experience of streaming on a big screen. To immerse yourself in the cinema, you need a larger screen, and the screen on your computer monitor can be very large. In this guide, let's look at how to mirror your Android device to a PC. For this guide, we will be using what is known as one of the best Android screen mirroring solutions of the decade, Scrcpy.

Before we begin the process, it is imperative to clarify that Scrcpy (pronounced "screen copy") is a free and open source screen mirroring application that we will use for the steps to mirror Android to PC wired and wirelessly. The app works flawlessly on Windows, Linux and macOS.

The aversion to wired connections is justified because no one likes a wired mess, but one area where wireless can never beat wired is latency. Fortunately, Scrcpy supports both wired and wireless screen mirroring, and here's how you can mirror your Android phone screen with a wired connection.

Before we start, you need to install Scrcpy on your PC for your operating system. Go to the official Scrcpy release page on GitHub, scroll down and download the Scrcpy zip file. Then extract the zip file and keep the folder open.
