I’m trying to replicate the old
image
but I do not know how to take screenshot or record video. I know that :CaptureScreenshot exists but that does not save it to the laptop

You can’t dynamically script something to save a file in this case an image to a player’s device.

#3

I mean I could use ScreenshotHud and change the position to the mouse when they click but there will be a random green sphere

#4

maybe use this function

game:GetService("ScreenshotService"):TakeScreenshot()
#6

srry try this instead

game:GetService("CaptureService"):CaptureScreenshot()
#7

wait srry i just realised youve acknowledged th capture screenshot thing. if you read more info on the capture service itself, you might find something helpful.

Could screen shot manualy in studio or via software, upload, add to a decal.

This video explains it well:

This script takes a screenshot and prompts user to save it after 5 seconds of playing the game.

local CS = game:GetService("CaptureService")

local function resultCallback(results)
	-- results shows if user accepted or declined the prompts
end

local function onCaptureReady(contentId)
	CS:PromptSaveCapturesToGallery({contentId}, resultCallback)
end

task.wait(5)

CS:CaptureScreenshot(onCaptureReady)
#12

No but I want to save it to files, like what ScreenshotHud does

#13

That’s what it does.

The capture is stored in %localappdata%\Roblox\UserCaptures if they accept.
This is the folder for the user’s captures.

We can’t do it any better than that.

Nah, I’d win.‮‮‮‮‮‮‮‮‮‮‮‮‮‮‮‮‮‮‮‮‮‮‮‮‮‮‮‮‮‮‮‮‮‮‮‮‮‮‮

I like the determination, but it’s not possible.
Is that not enough for your case?

I will mark your answer as solution if I don’t find any other way
