Screen recorder
Gameplay with sound, your voice and your camera. Plus the last 30 seconds.
No setup In 2.0Available in 2.0. Install it from the Extensions tab.
Records what is on the screen into a video, with the game’s sound, and with your voice and your camera if you want them, the way streamers do.
With instant replay switched on, the last seconds are always kept in memory. Something great happened? Save it after it happened.
Highlights
Up to 120 FPS
720p, 1080p or the display’s own size. 30, 60, 90 or 120 FPS, up to what your display shows. H.264, or H.265 for smaller files where the phone can encode it.
Instant replay
Keeps the last 15, 30 or 60 seconds in memory, up to 64 MB. “Save the last 30 s” writes them to a video.
Game sound
Captured straight from the game on Android 10 and newer, never through the microphone. Switch it off for a silent video.
Your voice
Off until you turn it on. Quiet, Normal or Loud. Mute it from the notification or the button over the game.
Facecam
Your front camera in a round or square bubble over the game, small, medium or large. Tap to turn it off and on, hold to resize.
Pause, trim, recover
Pause and resume, trim the ends afterwards, and a recording cut short by a closed app is finished the next time the app starts.
Set it up
- Install Screen recorder from the Extensions tab. No privileged access needed.
- Pick the resolution, frame rate and quality under Video.
- Tap Start recording. Android asks for consent every time a capture starts: that question can’t be skipped or remembered.
- Stop from the button over the game, the notification, or a Quick Settings tile. Videos land in Movies/GLTool.
Using it
Instant replay
Turn on Keep the last seconds and choose 15, 30 or 60. It costs battery for as long as it is on, because the screen is encoded all the time and only kept when you ask.
Recording your voice
Turn on the game sound first, then Record your voice too. The microphone opens only while a recording you started runs: not while paused, not for instant replay alone, and it closes at the stop. Android shows its own microphone dot.
Facecam
Turn on Show your camera in recordings. The bubble is drawn over the game and recorded with the screen, so where it sits is where it appears in the video. The camera opens only while a recording runs.
What it needs
| Permission or access | Why |
|---|---|
| Screen capture consent | Android asks at every capture. |
| Microphone permission | Android files capturing a game’s sound under it. The microphone itself is used only when “Record your voice too” is on. |
| Camera | Only for the facecam, off by default. |
| Display over other apps | For the button over the game and the facecam bubble. |
Limits
- Some games don’t allow their sound to be captured. Their videos have no game sound.
- Everything on the screen ends up in the video, notifications included.
- 90 and 120 FPS are offered only where the phone’s encoder handles them.
Questions
Why does it ask for the microphone when I don’t record my voice?
Android files “capture the sound other apps play” under the microphone permission. The microphone stays closed unless you turn on your voice.
Where are my videos?
In Movies/GLTool, through Android’s media store. No storage permission is needed.
