Disable touch screen while using scrcpy

Question

I have a broken-screen, non-rooted Xiaomi Redmi Note 6 Pro that looks like this



and I'm experiencing a LOT of ghost touches (and the digitizer's gone).


I am using scrcpy to control it from my PC, so I want to disable the touchscreen because otherwise it interferes with my commands and does what it wants.


I don't want to detach the digitizer physically since I have no tools for opening my mobile and this one has to be opened from the screen, so I could damage it more.


How can I do it (possibly with ADB)?

Answer

So I fixed it the way it was suggested me by @rom1v scrcpy --turn-screen-off and works better than what I was expecting!
