| ## SurfaceView Capture | ||
|
|
||
| By default, Android `SurfaceView` components (used by Unity, video players, map SDKs, and other frameworks that render outside the normal View hierarchy) appear as black or transparent regions in session replays. This happens because `SurfaceView` renders to its own surface, which is composited by SurfaceFlinger independently from the Window and is not captured by the standard PixelCopy window capture. |
