Can we generate a screenshot in Power Apps ?

Hi !

 

I want to allow users to take a screenshot of a specific part of my screen in a Power Apps application.

How can I do ? The best solution would be to put a function in a button, and by clicking on this button, the capture tool opens by itself.

 

Or even better, would it be that the capture is done alone (after having specified by coordinates the precise part which must be captured in my button for example)?

 

Is this possible or is there an alternative to this principle?

Knowing that I don't have to use any premium components!

 

Thanks in advance !

    Hi @Marinedecibon 

    As far as I know, there is no way to open a capture tool that would allow a user to select an area of the app to screenshot.

    There are a couple of approaches you could explore. The PDF function can produce a PDF output of specified items on a screen.

    You could also write a PCF control to extract a known area of a app as a base 64 image. There's an example of this technique here.
