Android call forwarding works on devices with Android 11 or later. It’s enabled by default and works out of the box on Android 12 or later. If you’re using Android 11, you’ll need to make sure your device’s screen is unlocked when you run scrcpy for audio to work.

For more information on how audio capture works and why it took so long to add it (the first version of scrcpy was released five years ago), check out developer Romain Vimont’s blog post on the subject.

Scrcpy 2.0 also brings support for H.265 and AV1 video encoding, along with numerous bug fixes and other under-the-hood improvements.

You can download the latest version and find installation, usage, configuration options, and other documentation on the scrcpy GitHub page.
