When I first was researching scrcpy, I found a thread (probably under “issues” on the GitHub repository for scrcpy) where someone else requested the same. They then went on to create a prototype using Java that the author of scrcpy seemed impressed with, but that was as far as it went. The prototype was based on a very old version (1.x) of scrcpy, so I never bothered trying it. Might be usable for this purpose, however.
Ah, ty.
I can log into the account on a browser with no such restriction, so it’s not protecting much.
Rooting doesn’t automatically give root permissions to just any app that wants it - you still have to allow it.

If only that didn’t require a PC - like an Android version that could run on your tablet to copy your phone’s screen.
Google is working on replacing Assistant with their Gemini AI crap - would not be surprised if it no longer works there.
You mean it’ll all magically go *POOF!* come the new year?!? I’ll wait until then to set up my new phone, then!

If you’re logging in via Wi-Fi, that shouldn’t transmit your IMEI - but I admit that I don’t know if that’s something they do behind the scenes. They also could just use your IP address if logging in from home. They would be making an assumption you hadn’t sold it (or given it to someone else), but I can see that not being enough assurance.
As such, get a used tablet that you only ever use on public Wi-Fi (i.e. never log it into your home Wi-Fi). I’m sure there are some really cheap old ones on eBay - just make sure it’s on a version of Android the Play Store still supports (I think 6 is the minimum nowadays).
You can create an account on an Android phone that has no SIM or other accounts on it without being required to provide a phone number. Use an old wiped phone just for this.
Or on Android you can use YTDLnis which provides a nice frontend with lots of flexibility as to what is downloaded.
Tomorrow never comes.
