Versions and features

This page only lists features implemented in each version of the server (e.g., capture video and audio) and whether they are supported by Tango. Some versions are skipped since they don't contain server-side changes.

Some features in Scrcpy are solely implemented by the client (e.g. simulate multi-touch using keyboard modifiers), so they are not listed here.

Generally, the latest version should be used, as they contain bug fixes and new features. However, if you're using Scrcpy on old devices, an older version might be more stable.

Legends​

  • (5/10): 5 out of 10 features in this version are supported
  • ✅: Supported
  • ⛔: Not supported
  • (Breaking): A breaking change. Some new options are not marked as breaking changes even if they contain protocol changes, as the old client can still work with the new server when the new options are not used.
