To capture a scrolling screenshot, click on the Full page option. That way, the screenshot can be saved locally on your disk. Next, select Local from the Save image to dropdown menu. Enabling the flag does nothing at the moment but when I tried to take a screen recording, my phone did prompt me that it was installing an app called “Image editor for Chrome.” I couldn’t locate the app but I presume that it will be a system-level app that’s required to take the recording. Since we want to take a screenshot, go to the Capture tab.

In a commit discovered by Chrome Story, a new feature flag has been added to the Canary version of Chrome for Android that will allow users to take a “Long Screenshot, a.k.a screen recording. When you let go of your mouse cursor, Google Chrome takes a screenshot of the selected area. For reasons unknown, that feature didn’t make the final cut for the latest Android build but instead, Google appears to have shifted its focus to adding the screen recording functions to the Chrome browser for Android.
Since that time, rumors have emerged that Google was actually working on an in-built screen recording feature that would arrive in some version of Android 11. The budding phone maker debuted the feature back in May of 2019 with the release of the company’s OxygenOS 9.5 and it has been on every OnePlus phone I’ve owned since. OnePlus just happens to be one of those OEMs. Some manufacturers even include a baked-in screen recorder in their respective iterations of Android. If you head to the Google Play Store, you can find a variety of applications that will allow you to take a video screenshot in order to capture things such as a full web page, gaming or whatever. Scrolling screenshots are nothing new on Android devices.
