How does everyone take screencaps on streaming apps?
All,
Quick question that's been bugging me for some time: Whenever I take to take screencaps on some of my streaming service apps (Netflix, Amazon Prime video, etc.) using my iPad, I just get black screenshots. It wasn't always this way (as recently as a year ago, in fact), but it's now the new normal. Is anyone else having this problem? How are people taking screencaps? Is everyone only using their desktop/laptops, not mobile devices?

I've never taken screen caps off a tablet. Everything I've done is on my computer, though a lot of apps, when you pause will show the UI and I can't get rid of that. So for me, I press play a few seconds before the shot I wanted to cap and let the scene play out and the moment I see the gun, I cap it and then paste it onto paint.

I've never tried using a portable device. I wrote out instructions in the Screencapping Guide a few years back.

And game consoles straight up don't allow screencapping from streaming apps or DVDs. Supposedly this is because people were pirating films by screencapping them one frame at a time (which must take an ungodly amount of time), but I've never found any direct proof of it.

I'd love to help, but my pages are almost all from PC games that allow for screencapping either from the launcher or an external application. I don't understand why screencapping for purposes like the wiki isn't considered fair use by more of these companies.
