Need a screenshot function
Akihito Kitakatsu
Hi. please create a feature that takes a screenshot of a participant's video and saves the image to the Bubble database. This is not a recording, but an image capture function. If there is more than one participant, I need to take a screenshot of a specific participant's screen. I don't care if it's a paid feature, I need a screenshot function in my application.
Also, if there are multiple participants, I would like the ability to show a specific participant's image on the first screen for all participants. (Like Zoom's pinning feature) Sorry if this is already there and I'm missing it.

Thanks for sharing Akihito Kitakatsu! Is this only during video calls or do you need screenshot functionality more generally in your app?

Hi, thanks for the reply! I need a screenshot during the video call, but it would be nice to have a screenshot as well as the app in general.

Hi Lola. Is there any chance of this feature being implemented? I don't mind paying for it. Thank you very much.

Hi Aki,
Thanks again for the feedback! I’m currently evaluating the request, but there’s no ETA on when or if it will be added.
This feature is a bit more challenging because the plugin relies on Daily’s prebuilt interface (https://www.daily.co/products/prebuilt-video-call-app/), which isn't fully customizable.
If you’re open to custom code, Daily’s client SDK (https://docs.daily.co/guides/products/client-sdk) lets you build a completely custom interface and work with the video and audio directly, though this isn’t something the plugin currently supports so you would need to code it.
What kind of app are you building? If you share more about how you're planning to use screenshots, I can brainstorm some potential workarounds outside of the plugin. Feel free to email me at help@lunchpaillabs.com.
