scrcc
Stealth scrcpy Client
Mirror and control your Android device inside a protected desktop window. Fast access to your mobile workflow during meetings and interviews — no context switching, no interruptions.
Core Features
Everything you need for controlled Android mirroring on desktop.
Content Protection
Window-level protection flags keep the mirror view out of screen-sharing pipelines.
Alt-Tab Hidden
The app stays off the Alt-Tab switcher so your taskbar stays clean during calls.
Mouse Pass-Through
Toggle click-through mode so the window never interferes with your primary workflow.
Full Input Control
Keyboard forwarding, touch injection, Android nav buttons, and clipboard sync.
USB & Wireless
Auto-detect USB devices or connect over wireless ADB. Auto-reconnect on drop.
Performance Tuning
Resolution up to 2560, bitrate 1–16 Mbps, FPS 15–60. Tune to your hardware profile.
Overlay Mode
Always-on-top, adjustable opacity 10–100%, compact mini mode, persistent window bounds.
Quick Session Stop
One-key emergency stop kills the session and hides the window in milliseconds.
Focus Guard
Clicking the window doesn't steal focus from your active meeting or interview app.
How It Works
Three layers that put your Android workflow inside your desktop environment.
Off-Screen Capture
scrcpy spawns completely off-screen. The raw stream is captured by Electron's desktop capturer.
Desktop Render
The Android stream is rendered into a <video> element inside a controlled Electron window.
Window Protection
OS-level display affinity flags are applied so the window produces a blank in any capture pipeline.
// Content protection → window appears blank in any capture tool
mainWindow.setContentProtection(true);
// Confirmed blank in:
// ✓ OBS Studio
// ✓ Discord screen share
// ✓ Microsoft Teams
// ✓ Zoom
// ✓ Windows Snipping ToolHotkeys
