How to correct the resolution of the screenshots taken by the Robot ? Why is the resolution of the screenshots taken by the Robot so low?

Issue Description: With Take Screenshot activity, there might be an issue with the resolution being too low of the image saved.

Root Cause: Usually this error occurs due to mismatch of Resolution settings between Robot machine and the values/settings set on the Robot settings in Orchestrator.

Eg: If resolution set in VM is 1366*768, but the Robot settings have been set to 1920*1080 then it takes a screenshot in 1920*1080 resolution which causes the pixels to drop and the image resolution would turn out to be low.

Resolution:

  1. Check if the Resolution that has been set correctly in Robot machine
  2. This can be verified by taking a Screenshot, opening it in MS Paint application and checking the values at the bottom bar below
  3. Or, check the Display settings and validate the resolution of the VM / Robot machine
  4. The same resolution needs to be set in the Robot settings of Orchestrator
  5. Once set, the images will be saved with the Expected quality.
