Hi,

It is quite simple by using Take Screenshot action. You can save your screen to Clipboard or to a File in your computer.

Thanks and hope it can help you.

Are you able to save multiple photos to a folder as opposed to a file?

Yes, just run the action inside a loop and add a timestamp variable to the filename.

That sounds like a winner FraenK, thank you!

I'm still new to this - do you have any way you could show me or a link to assist me in achieving this?

Hi

I have explained how to do this here: Take screenshots and store them in folders - Power Automate Desktop.

I normally use the date time as a variable, and then use that as reference in the file path of the screenshot. It works wonders, and is not difficult to set up at all.

Best regards
Mathias Kjeldsen
