To select a specific device in scrcpy<\/strong>, run adb devices<\/code>, copy the target phone’s identifier, and launch scrcpy -s DEVICE_SERIAL<\/code>. To control several phones, open a separate scrcpy session for each identifier. This guide starts with device selection, then shows multiple windows and Total Control’s visual selection and group-control workflow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to Select a Specific Device in scrcpy<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

With several phones connected, choose the target before launching its screen. Selecting one device is different from controlling a group.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 1: Prepare scrcpy and your phones<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Download and extract scrcpy for Windows<\/a>. Enable USB Debugging on each phone, connect the phones to your PC by USB, and accept the debugging authorization prompts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Open the extracted scrcpy folder in File Explorer, type cmd<\/code> in the address bar, and press Enter. The examples below use Windows Command Prompt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 2: Find the device identifier<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
adb devices<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
Example output, with placeholder identifiers:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
List of devices attached\nPHONE_A    device\nPHONE_B    device<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
Use the identifier in the first column for a phone listed as device<\/code>. Replace PHONE_A<\/code> and PHONE_B<\/code> below with your actual Serial Numbers; they are not device names to type literally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For additional device details, run adb devices -l<\/code>. The Android ADB guide<\/a> explains the identifiers and connection states.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Step 3: Start scrcpy for the chosen phone<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
scrcpy -s PHONE_A<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
The equivalent long form is:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
scrcpy --serial=PHONE_A<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
Use either command, not both. To choose the other phone, substitute its identifier. These selectors are documented in the official scrcpy device-selection guide<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Choose a USB or network device<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Target<\/th>Command<\/th>Condition<\/th><\/tr><\/thead>
A specific device<\/td>scrcpy -s DEVICE_SERIAL<\/code><\/td>Use its exact identifier from adb devices<\/code><\/td><\/tr>
The USB-connected device<\/td>scrcpy -d<\/code><\/td>Exactly one USB device is connected<\/td><\/tr>
The TCP\/IP-connected device<\/td>scrcpy -e<\/code><\/td>Exactly one TCP\/IP device is connected<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
With two USB phones, use -s<\/code> rather than -d<\/code>.<\/strong> The same distinction applies to multiple network devices and -e<\/code>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For an already connected network device, use the address and port shown by adb devices<\/code>, for example:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
scrcpy -s 192.168.1.50:5555<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
Replace this example with your listed identifier. This selects an existing ADB connection; it does not enable or pair wireless debugging.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
