Google Adds Selfie Camera Support to Androids Screen Recording Tool
Android’s built-in screen recorder? It works, sure. But let’s be honest, it’s the vanilla ice cream of screen recording. Need more flavor? The Play Store’s overflowing with third-party options boasting bells and whistles galore. But if you’re wary of outsiders, breathe easy. Word on the street is Google’s finally giving its native recorder a serious power-up.
Google gives Android screen recording tool an upgrade

Android’s built-in screen recorder is about to get a whole lot more interesting, according to Android Authority’s Mishaal Rahman. Forget capturing yourentirescreen; Google’s prepping an update that could finally give users the granular control they’ve been craving. After years of all-or-nothing recording, this potential upgrade promises a feature that might actually make you want to use the native tool.
Google just gave its Quick Tap to Take Screenshot feature a sleek makeover! Say goodbye to clunky interruptions. The new UI pops up a streamlined toolbarabovewhat you’re doing, keeping your screen visible. Plus, selfie lovers, rejoice! A dedicated "Show selfie camera" toggle has arrived, putting you in the frame faster than ever.
Imagine crafting a "Let’s Play" video or a killer tutorial, complete with your sparkling commentary overlaid on the action. Soon, you might be able to ditch the clunky workarounds. Evidence suggests simultaneous screen and front-facing camera recording is on its way. Think picture-in-picture perfection, right from the source. The usual suspects are still invited to the party, though: device audio capture, microphone activation, and the ever-helpful screen touch indicators all remain firmly in place, ready to help you craft the perfect explainer.
Forget boring notifications! Android Authority spills the beans on a slick screen recording upgrade. Instead of a bland "saved" alert, prepare for a post-capture portal – a brand new UI that pops up the moment you hit stop.
Imagine a screenshot editor, but for videos! Once you’ve recorded, a suite of options appear: retake for perfection, tweak with editing tools, trash the take, or instantly share your masterpiece. But the real game-changer? Evidence suggests partial screen recording is coming! Forget awkward cropping; just select the precise area you need and record.
The arrival of these changes remains shrouded in mystery. Will they debut with December’s stable QPR2 release, as Rahman suggests? Or could Google hold them back, making us wait for the grand unveiling of Android 17?
