How to mirror your Android phone wirelessly to your Windows 10 PC

I spent allot of time on the internet trying to find out how to have my Android Cell phone, mirrored to my pc.

There is a great tool, that works across linux, Mac and Windows, called Scrcpy.

You can download it here: https://github.com/Genymobile/scrcpy/

  1. Once downloaded, in your downloads folder extract the contents of the compressed file.
  2. Then open a command prompt in windows, and change the path in the command prompt to the extracted Scrcpy folder. A quick google search will explain how to do this.  In my case the files were located in \Users\exampleuser\Downloads\scrcpy-win64-v1.12.1\
  3. In order to change to the directory in command prompt you can type help CD, or do a google search. 
  4. On your android phone you will need your IP address, and developer options enabled.
  5. Next, connect the Android phone to a USB port on the computer. 
  6. In the command prompt type in adb tcpip 5555  then hit enter. Unplug the phone from the USB port to the PC.
  7. There may be a pop up asking if you want to allow connections from your computer to this device. Check the box, and then hit Yes.
  8. The last command to enter is: adb connect phonesipaddress:5555 then hit enter. An example of the last command is: adb connect 192.168.1.1:5555

Then run scrcpy and you should see your android phone being mirrored to your PC.
