    That's why I love Samsung. The built in Game Launcher has screen recording WITH system sound. Not just external audio

        Nevermind screen recording or other whatnot, does anyone already have an idea what Android "Q" will be once released?

          Anonymous, 14 Mar 2019Huaweis EMUI has had this feature for yeeeaaarrs, and stock... moreThe screen record program is located in /system/bin usually.
          ALL Android phones have it. The difference probably is that now you can access it through the UI instead of only the command terminal.

          |:/ $ screenrecord --help
          Usage: screenrecord [options]

          Android screenrecord v1.2. Records the device's display to a .mp4 file.

          Options:
          --size WIDTHxHEIGHT
          Set the video size, e.g. "1280x720". Default is the device's main
          display resolution (if supported), 1280x720 if not. For best results,
          use a size supported by the AVC encoder.
          --bit-rate RATE
          Set the video bit rate, in bits per second. Value may be specified as
          bits or megabits, e.g. '4000000' is equivalent to '4M'. Default 20Mbps.
          --bugreport
          Add additional information, such as a timestamp overlay, that is helpful
          in videos captured to illustrate bugs.
          --time-limit TIME
          Set the maximum recording time, in seconds. Default / maximum is 180.
          --verbose
          Display interesting information on stdout.
          --help
          Show this message.

          Recording continues until Ctrl-C is hit or the time limit is reached.

              Windows10, 14 Mar 2019Does it record system sound though?Microphone works on my Sony.
              But for example if you record a youtube video the sound is too low.
              External sound is better recorded.

                Does it record system sound though?

                    My xperia came with android 5 ( stopped with 7.1.1) has this.
                    But it was removed on X line ..

                      Wow what took them so long

                        Would be great if this was done a few years back to be honest, Google's definitely way behind schedule right here. In fact, what we're anticipating in regards to the screen recorder is not the screen recorder itself, but the ability to record internal audio instead. iOS had this for quite a long time already, and now in 2019, there's still no answer to this from Google yet. Hopefully, when this comes out, it does support recording of internal audio which also gives third party apps the ability to have it too (and when I say third party apps, I mean screen recording apps)

                          Welcome Google to MIUI, EMUI, Samsung UI and nearly every other Android skin.

                            Yousef1, 14 Mar 2019We have it already since years on Samsung phones...Same here with my Huawei Mate 20X.
                            Many other phones have it to.

                              Yousef1, 14 Mar 2019We have it already since years on Samsung phones...Erm not just Samsung phones, loads of phones have screen recording for years. Don't know why Google is so behind on their own operating system

                                We have it already since years on Samsung phones...

                                  If it can't record internal sound without using microphone (to prevent record sound from surrounding) ,then this screen recorder is bad.

                                    In every OS update .
                                    They are just putting third party apps in Msin OS.
