Android mobile phones have built-in tools to help users record screen videos and webcam. But they do not allow users record both webcam and screen at the same time. When you record gameplay, create how-to presentations, make video demos, you may want to record yourself and the phone screen at the same time. In this quick guide, we will show you how to add webcam overlay to screen while recording using a free screen recorder for Android.
