Connection Type

| Feature | Standard SCRCPY | WS-SCRCPY | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | | USB or ADB over TCP/IP | WebSocket (HTTP/HTTPS) | | Client Required | Native executable (scrcpy.exe) | Any web browser | | Multi-Device View | Separate windows per device | Unified dashboard in one tab | | Remote Access | Complex (requires VPN/port forwarding) | Built-in (use reverse proxy or HTTPS) | | Collaboration | Single user at a time | Multiple users can view (theoretically) | | Ease of Sharing | Low (requires software install) | High (send a URL link) |

  1. The Android Side: The device must have USB debugging enabled. The WS-SCRCPY server uses ADB (Android Debug Bridge) to push a tiny scrcpy-server.jar file to the device.
  2. The Host Side (Your PC): The WS-SCRCPY Node.js server runs on your desktop. It connects to the Android device via adb. It then decodes the H.264 video stream and re-encapsulates it into WebSocket frames.
  3. The Client Side (Browser): Your browser connects to http://[Host-IP]:8000. The page uses JavaScript and WebGL to render the video stream. Mouse and keyboard events are captured and sent back via WebSocket to the host, which forwards them to the device via ADB.
