How do you open SCRCPY in a borderless Window? SCRCPY in borderless mode.

In order to open SCRCPY in borderless window mode you will need to do the following.

  • To begin, the first thing you are going to need to do is open Command Prompt as Administrator. To do this search CMD from the Start menu, then right-click Command Prompt and select Run as administrator.
  • Once the Command window is open, you’ll need to point Command prompt to the folder you have SCRCPY in.
  • To do this type cd then a space into the command window, then enter the exact location of the SCRCPY folder into Command prompt and press Enter. For me, the command looks like the example below. However, for you, it will more than likely be C:\ something:

cd D:\SCRCPY

Note: If you have your SCRCPY folder on a different drive, not C: you’ll need to change the drive location first. To do this simply type the drive letter followed by a colon ( : ) and press Enter. It should look like this D: If you get stuck there is a video in the SCRCPY Playlist that shows you this process.

  • Now that Command Prompt is pointing to the correct location, you can enter or copy and paste the following command into the command window and press Enter.

scrcpy --window-borderless

SCRCPY will now open in a borderless window! The only problem is that it will be centred on your screen and will not have any tools for you to move it around. If you want to change the position you will need to customise and add the following command before pressing enter.

scrcpy --window-borderless --window-x=100 --window-y=100 --window-width=800 --window-height=600

It should look something like the example above.

Can you run more than one SCRCPY command at once?

If you have more than one command option that you would like to enter you can run multiple commands using the same process. However, it’s best to do this using a batch file. This will allow you to create a custom shortcut you can use each and every time you open SCRCPY.
