## Quick Start
### USB Connection
> Note: If the phone prompts for debugging authorization, click allow
1. Enable developer mode and USB debugging on your Android phone
2. Open Escrcpy and connect your Android phone to your computer
3. The device list in Escrcpy should have detected your phone, click start mirroring
4. Enjoy!
### WIFI Connection
> Note: Wireless debugging needs to be enabled on your phone's wireless debugging page to get the IP address (usually the IP assigned when connecting to WIFI) and port number (default 5555) of the device
1. Follow steps 1-2 in USB Connection
2. Input the device IP address and port number obtained to Escrcpy and click connect device
3. The device list in Escrcpy should have detected your phone, click start mirroring
4. Enjoy!
### macOS && Linux
> Note: These platforms do not come with integrated [Adb](https://developer.android.com/studio/releases/platform-tools?hl=zh-cn) and [Scrcpy](https://github.com/Genymobile/scrcpy), you need to install them manually
1. Refer to the [installation document](https://github.com/Genymobile/scrcpy/blob/master/doc/linux.md) for Linux
2. Refer to the [installation document](https://github.com/Genymobile/scrcpy/blob/master/doc/macos.md) for macOS
3. Follow steps in USB Connection and WIFI Connection after dependencies are installed successfully
### Gnirehtet Reverse Tethering
> Note: macOS does not have Gnirehtet built-in. You need to manually install it to use this feature [Installation Guide](https://github.com/Genymobile/gnirehtet).
Gnirehtet is built into the Windows and Linux apps to provide reverse tethering from PC to Android devices.

## FAQ
### Computer cannot detect device after connecting
1. Please unplug and reconnect your device, and make sure the device has granted USB debugging authorization.
2. If it still doesn't work, your computer may be missing necessary drivers. Please install drivers using third-party tools such as DriverWizard and try again.
### Unable to enter Chinese
This issue is known - Scrcpy doesn't seem to have tested and supported direct Chinese input. It's recommended to install a third-party input method on the phone that can well support, such as:
- Sogou Input
- QQ Input
- Google Pinyin Input
- Gboard
### Wireless connection prompts: The target computer actively refuses access
The first wireless connection may require pairing. Alternatively, insert USB to ensure connection establishment and authorization success before using wireless.
### Clicking wireless mode after connecting via data cable has no response
Please click again, or click refresh devices. Generally it will not exceed two clicks. If still not working, please provide device model and Android version to [Issues](https://github.com/viarotel-org/escrcpy/issues)
### Why is the device interaction control bar not designed as an automatically sticking floating menu?
Adopting the floating menu approach will inevitably increase coupling with Scrcpy and difficulty in synchronization updates. Many similar ScrcpyGUI softwares had to invest a lot of effort in this approach and eventually gave up development due to update difficulties. Therefore, taking overall considerations, we decided to adopt the existing approach and look forward to Scrcpy's native support for an interaction control bar in the future.
### Some devices can see screenshots after connecting but cannot operate
> Note: For Xiaomi phones in particular, it requires not only enabling USB debugging but also enabling USB debugging (Security Settings), which is to allow modifying permissions or simulating clicks via USB debugging.
Please refer to the detailed instructions under [Reasons why mouse and keyboard do not work](https://github.com/Genymobile/scrcpy/blob/master/FAQ.md#mouse-and-keyboard-do-not-work)
### Downloading prompts antivirus detection causing unable to download normally
> After feedback, Windows Defender may occasionally block the software packages from being downloaded due to lack of certificate signing. You can try the following solutions:
1. Open `Windows Security Center`.
2. Select `Virus & threat protection`.
3. In the `Virus & threat protection settings`, click `Manage settings`.
4. Find `Real-time protection`, you can try clicking Disable if permission allows. If unable to disable real-time protection, please skip this step.
5. Scroll down the page, find `Exclusions`, click `Add or remove exclusions`.
6. Add the folder path where you download the software packages as an exclusion item, i.e. add the folder to the `Excluded list`.
### Failed to get device list or error when starting mirroring/recording
> This is generally caused by an incorrect path for `Adb` or `Scrcpy`, you can try the following solutions:
1. In the menu, select `Preferences` and then click the reset configuration button in the top right corner of `Global Mode`.
2. Go to the `Device List` page and try enabling mirroring again.
3. Make sure you have downloaded and installed the latest version of `Escrcpy`.
4. Press `Ctrl` + `Shift` + `I` to open the developer tools and check for any error messages.
5. If there are errors, take a screenshot and submit your issue with the screenshot on the [Feedback Issues](https://github.com/viarotel-org/escrcpy/issues) page.
### macOS window minimized to system tray icon not found
> This is generally caused by too many icons in the system tray overflowing and hiding the Escrcpy icon. Try using the following tools:
- [iBar](https://www.better365.cn/ibar.html)
- [Bartender](https://www.macbartender.com/)
