The Roblox Captures/Screenshot feature makes SurfaceGui’s disappear, this is a problem as my experience uses SurfaceGui’s for building texts and what not.
Expected behavior
For SurfaceGui’s to not disappear when using the Roblox Captures/Screenshot feature.
Duplicate, and already addressed:
I think this fits more under a feature request rather than a bug report. This is intentional but it’s possible for the developer to configure the behavior for their game using the ScreenshotHud.HidePlayerGuiForCaptures property.
Something we could look into is separating ScreenGuis in PlayerGui and SurfaceGuis/Billboard GUIs, creating a new property for just SurfaceGuis. It may be more intuitive to only hide ScreenGuis for Captures by default.
I think setting ScreenshotHud.HidePlayerGuiForCaptures to false and manually disabling the ScreenGuis in PlayerGui may work for this use case currently, in the future we will be looking into how to improve the API to make this easier and allow for more flexibility for developers to choose what is hidden in Captures.
