Screenshot of my course

Can you explain a little more deeper what you are trying to do? 

Hi Eduardo!

You can utilize a Screencast if needed or you can insert an image.

Hello Jacob,

Well I'm trying to capture a part of my course published. When the user reaches this page, he will can get a picture or screenshot on his computer. I tried applying a javascript when the timeline began, but  it didn't work.

In short, what I need is a routine or trigger that generates a screenshot of the browser window so that the user can save as an image.

Have a good day.

Hi Eduardo! Thanks for the further explanation. Hopefully someone in the community will be able to assist you with this request. I know that I've seen it discussed here before.

Thank You Leslie. I'll check it

Sorry for late answer. Have been on vacation. 

First of all i must ask what the purpose of this picture are. I mean, the user already see his/hers screen. Why would he/she need a screenshot?  

However,is it possible to just give the user a small text/explanation of how to take a screenshot (via PrintScreen)  

Perhaps a uglier solution but much more easier than implementing a javascript and so on. 

Thanks for popping back in to assist Jacob! Hope you enjoyed your vacation :)

No problem Leslie. Actually im quit currious about why he need a "screenshot-function".  :D

And yes, i enjoyed my vacation (although my mailbox was overflowing when i came back) 

Ah yes, love/hate relationship for sure!

Hi, If anyone has discovered how to do this, please share? My reason is: There are occasionally cases where the LMS connection times out and results are no written back. We ask our learners to take a screen shot of their results page (which has their name on from a text entry field at the beginning). They can then email the screenshot if necessary. We often get people saying they don't know how to do this and we have an audience of thousands (many technically challenged). The best option would be a big button that says 'Take a screen shot'. 

Hi, JavaScript should work.  Put the following JavaScript trigger on a button and it will print the screen when the user clicks the button.

window.print()

If you are having trouble with in when you publish or preview, it may be that your browser is blocking the code when you try to launch it locally. Once you upload your project to the web or an LMS it should work.

Thanks Nancy, much appreciated! I will give it a try and let you know...

Hi Marian! Glad that Nancy is assisting you here.
