Your Pixel could soon borrow one of Samsung’s best screen recording tricks
Drawing inspiration. Get it?
Google appears to be developing a markup tool that could enable Pixel users to draw on their screens while recording, akin to Samsung's approach. Android 17 QPR3 Beta 2 contains references to this new markup functionality, an overlay, and brush-related features. However, the feature is still in the early stages of development, with no functional interface or release date confirmed.
The ability to record a Pixel's screen to demonstrate how to perform a task is often hindered by the complex menus within the phone. Drawing a direct mark on the screen to indicate precisely which area to tap could prove to be a more intuitive solution. Google may be considering incorporating this Samsung trick to enhance the screen recording experience on Pixel devices.
