+## Usage examples
+
+There are a lot of options, [documented](#user-documentation) in separate pages.
+Here are just some common examples.
+
+ - Capture the screen in H.265 (better quality), without audio, and control the
+device by simulating a physical keyboard:
+
+    ```bash
+    scrcpy --video-codec=h265 --max-size=1920 --no-audio --keyboard=uhid
+    scrcpy --video-codec=h265 -m1920 --no-audio -K  # short version
+    ```
+
+ - Record the device camera in H.265 at 1920x1080 (and microphone) to an MP4 file:
+
+    ```bash
+    scrcpy --video-source=camera --video-codec=h265 --camera-size=1920x1080 --record=file.mp4
+    ```
+
+ - Capture the device front camera and expose it as a webcam on the computer (on Linux):
+
+    ```bash
+    scrcpy --video-source=camera --camera-size=1920x1080 --camera-facing=front --v4l2-sink=/dev/video2 --no-playback
+    ```
+
+ - Control the device without mirroring by simulating a physical keyboard and mouse
+(USB debugging not required):
+
+    ```bash
+    scrcpy --otg
+    ```
