Now, we\u2019ve spotted the feature rolling out in the latest Android Canary release, giving testers an early look at how it works.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Don\u2019t want to miss the best from Android Authority?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img class=\"e_Ph\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" sizes=\"9.375rem\" title=\"google preferred source badge dark@2x\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/google_preferred_source_badge_dark@2x.png 676w, https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/google_preferred_source_badge_dark@2x-64w-20h.png 64w\" alt=\"google preferred source badge dark@2x\" src=\"https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/google_preferred_source_badge_dark@2x.png\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Reaction videos have become very popular on social media, but creating them often requires complicated setups involving multiple devices, third-party apps, or video editing tools. Google wants to simplify that process with Screen Reactions, a built-in feature that lets you record your screen and yourself simultaneously.<\/p>\n<p>In Android Canary 2606, the feature doesn\u2019t appear under the Screen Reactions branding. Instead, it\u2019s currently labeled <strong>\u201cSelfie camera\u201d<\/strong> within Android\u2019s native screen recording interface.<\/p>\n<p>The option appears when you start a screen recording and select \u201cEntire screen.\u201d Once enabled, your front-facing camera feed is captured alongside the screen recording and overlaid directly onto the final video. Interestingly, the option disappears when you choose to record a single app rather than the entire screen.<\/p>\n<p><img class=\"e_Ph\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" sizes=\"calc(min(calc(100vw - 1.875rem), 51.25rem) \/ 2)\" title=\"Android Canary June 2026 Screen Reactions 1\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Android-Canary-June-2026-Screen-Reactions-1.jpeg 1080w, https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Android-Canary-June-2026-Screen-Reactions-1-29w-64h.jpeg 29w, https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Android-Canary-June-2026-Screen-Reactions-1-1000w-2244h.jpeg 1000w, https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Android-Canary-June-2026-Screen-Reactions-1-642w-1440h.jpeg 642w, https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Android-Canary-June-2026-Screen-Reactions-1-481w-1080h.jpeg 481w, https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Android-Canary-June-2026-Screen-Reactions-1-385w-864h.jpeg 385w, https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Android-Canary-June-2026-Screen-Reactions-1-169w-380h.jpeg 169w, https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Android-Canary-June-2026-Screen-Reactions-1-535w-1200h.jpeg 535w\" alt=\"Android Canary June 2026 Screen Reactions 1\" src=\"https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Android-Canary-June-2026-Screen-Reactions-1.jpeg\"\/><img class=\"e_Ph\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" sizes=\"calc(min(calc(100vw - 1.875rem), 51.25rem) \/ 2)\" title=\"Android Canary June 2026 Screen Reactions 2\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Android-Canary-June-2026-Screen-Reactions-2.jpeg 1080w, https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Android-Canary-June-2026-Screen-Reactions-2-29w-64h.jpeg 29w, https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Android-Canary-June-2026-Screen-Reactions-2-1000w-2244h.jpeg 1000w, https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Android-Canary-June-2026-Screen-Reactions-2-642w-1440h.jpeg 642w, https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Android-Canary-June-2026-Screen-Reactions-2-481w-1080h.jpeg 481w, https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Android-Canary-June-2026-Screen-Reactions-2-385w-864h.jpeg 385w, https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Android-Canary-June-2026-Screen-Reactions-2-169w-380h.jpeg 169w, https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Android-Canary-June-2026-Screen-Reactions-2-535w-1200h.jpeg 535w\" alt=\"Android Canary June 2026 Screen Reactions 2\" src=\"https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Android-Canary-June-2026-Screen-Reactions-2.jpeg\"\/><\/p>\n<p>The feature also offers several customization options.\u00a0 While the selfie overlay uses a transparent background by default, users can also choose from six different background colors.<\/p>\n<p>When the Screen Reactions feature rolls out widely, it\u2019ll first be available on Pixel phones.
