PhoneDesk puts scrcpy's camera and mirroring options into a Windows interface, so you can spend less time remembering commands and more time using your phone.
| Camera | Mirror | Connect |
|---|---|---|
| Choose a camera and adjust resolution, FPS, bitrate, and rotation. | View and control your phone screen on your computer. | Use USB first, then switch to Wi-Fi from the app. |
Your terminal can take a short break.
Get PhoneDesk-V1.1-Public.zip from the V1.1 release. Extract the complete ZIP and open PhoneDesk.exe. The Windows x64 package includes scrcpy and the .NET runtime.
Before you start: use an Android 12+ phone, a Windows x64 computer, and a USB cable that supports data. USB debugging must be enabled. Camera options depend on what your phone exposes.
- Enable USB debugging on your Android phone.
- Connect a USB data cable and approve the computer on the phone.
- Click Refresh devices, select the phone, then start a camera or screen mirror.
- For Wi-Fi, connect one USB phone, click Switch USB to Wi-Fi, and wait for confirmation before unplugging. Use a trusted network that permits communication between devices.
- Front/rear camera and camera-ID selection; resolution, FPS, bitrate, rotation, mirror, zoom and torch controls.
- USB mirroring and USB-first wireless setup.
- No separately installed Android app or root required.
- Changing capture settings restarts the preview. Camera capabilities differ across phones.
- Automatic recovery is disabled. This is a beta, not a compatibility guarantee.
- No Windows virtual webcam driver or OBS integration is included.
