This seems pretty basic, but how do you go about forcing a screen shot while doing a screen recording? This was often useful when using Captivate to do screen recording but I haven't figured out how to do it SL. A quick tip, anyone?
I was able to do so, however, using the Windows+S command while recording. This is available if you have Windows OneNote (I have Office 2010...don't remember if it works with earlier versions) running in the systray area.
Others may have other ideas...or perhaps things have changed since that thread.
Well, I'm glad it was what you were looking for, but I'm confused. As suggested in the thread, I see the PrtScr option, I hear the shutter sound, but I'm not aware of it actually working. Did you get it to work?
I had to change the shortcut from PrtScr to F9 because my PrtScr launches Snagit. But once I did that I hear the shutter sound and it inserts a new slide called User Screenshot.

Hi Brett,
Based on this Screen Recording Options - take screenshot thread, it doesn't look like it's doable via Storyline's recorder.

Hi Rebecca,
Your link is exactly what I was looking for; thank you! I had forgotten about the preference option to set a shortcut key to screenshots.
