This was originally teased during The Android Show shortly\u00a0before I\/O 2026, and later\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/android-17-qpr1-beta-4-screen-reactions-3676716\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">spotted in Android 17 QPR1 Beta 4<\/a>. Now, it\u2019s finally here.<\/p>\n<p>With Screen Reactions on Pixel devices, you can quickly and easily record reaction videos. Basically, it brings support for recording using your selfie camera while screen recording on your phone. The video from your camera is seamlessly overlaid on the screen recording, creating quick, easy \u201creaction videos\u201d you might have seen on TikTok and Instagram.<\/p>\n<p>Screen Reactions simplifies the process by eliminating the need for a green screen setup or a dedicated app to overlay your video on a screen recording. I have done that in the past, and it\u2019s a pain and then some to make reaction videos like that.<\/p>\n<p>All you need to do is start a screen recording, switch to \u201cEntire screen,\u201d and select the \u201cShow selfie camera\u201d option. Pixel will record your video from the front camera and show it as a floating overlay in the screen recording.<\/p>\n<p><img class=\"e_gh\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  title=\"Android 17 QPR1 Beta 4 Screen Reactions\"  alt=\"Android 17 QPR1 Beta 4 Screen Reactions\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Android-17-QPR1-Beta-4-Screen-Reactions.jpg\"\/><\/p>\n<p>While the feature puts your selfie camera footage at the bottom of the screen by default, you can adjust it. It can be moved around and resized, and you can even set a background color for your video.<\/p>\n<p>Screen Reactions is available on all Pixel devices running <a href=\"https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/android-17-stable-rollout-features-3675016\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Android 17<\/a>. It\u2019s not the only new feature here, either. The June Pixel Drop is improving multitasking with Bubbles, adding new Gemini models, and expanding AirDrop support to more Pixel phones. It\u2019s also introducing Voice Translate to the Pixel 10a.<\/p>\n<p>Thank you for being part of our community.
