Scrcpy is not working on the latest Meta Quest OS versions (Meta Horizon OS >= 74)

[marcynumix]

Environment

OS: Windows
Scrcpy version: 3.1
Installation method: Windows release
Device model: Meta Quest 2/3
Android version: 12

Describe the bug

I tested scrcpy on Quest 2 and the Quest 3 with the latest OS version (74) and I have now a black screen. It was working fine with the previous OS versions. Do you have any news about Meta blocking tools such as scrcpy ?

Update (17/11/25):

A workaround has been found for this issue : #5913 (comment)

Please note that this is only a workaround — not a perfect solution, and not a definitive fix for the issue.

Update: It seems it is blocking scrpcy only when Quest for Business is installed and configured on the headset

[marcynumix]

Update: I reached the Meta technical support who told me : "The scrcpy to our knowledge uses hidden AOSP (Android open source project, which is the foundation of the Horizon OS in Meta Quest devices) features, so changes in either can result in the scenario you've encountered. As scrcpy is a third party solution, from Meta's side we are unable to provide any support for it." So I guess this the end of the scrcpy compatibility (with the pro plan at least)

I'm having this problem with Horizon OS 74 and scrpy 3.1 but do not have Quest for Business installed afaik. (Also where do you check to make sure it's not installed, and/or remove it to test this)

Meta lists scrcpy in their docs, maybe you can send them this link and request them to escalate?

I also had the issue on non quest for business devices recently, so it seems this issue will concern everyone eventually. You need to pay for the quest for business mode, so it can't be enabled by accident

Thanks for the link, I will send it to Meta

The crop feature does not work anymore

It should work with scrcpy 3.x. (#4162, fixed by #5455)

[marcynumix]

Update: Meta support told me they were investigating the issue

[jamie-pate]

v3.x does work! But anything before 3 does not.

3.1 does not work for me 🤔

[rom1v]

3.1 does not work for me 🤔

You mean cropping is not applied? 🤔

[jamie-pate]

I mean i get a blank screen. (see the issue description)

I'm not sure how it's related to cropping

I got it working with a Quest3 (v76) with Meta For Business MDM, by passing the device id 0 --display-id=0

When listing the displays:

[server] INFO: Device: [Oculus] oculus Quest 3 (Android 14)
[server] INFO: List of displays:
    --display-id=0    (4128x2208)
    --display-id=9    (4128x2208) <-- probably this was creating the issue
    --display-id=11    (1020x125)
    --display-id=107    (1280x800)
    --display-id=121    (1280x800)
    --display-id=137    (1280x800)
    --display-id=141    (1280x800)
    --display-id=167    (1x1)

[rom1v]

by passing the device id 0 --display-id=0

0 is the default, so passing --display-id=0 should have absolutely no impact.

I just tested this morning (without the --display-id argument) and scrcpy was suddenly working again with the MDM. Go figure.
