## SurfaceView Capture (Android only)

By default, content rendered inside `SurfaceView` components (e.g. video players, map SDKs) appears as black or transparent regions in Session Replay. You can enable `captureSurfaceViews` to include this content in recordings.

<Alert level="warning">

This option is **experimental**. Masking granularity is at the `SurfaceView` level only — individual elements inside a `SurfaceView` cannot be masked separately. Only works with the `pixelCopy` screenshot strategy (the default). See the [Android SurfaceView Capture docs](/platforms/android/session-replay/#surfaceview-capture) for more details.

</Alert>
