Full Screen Screenshot w/ 2020.10

[keong]

Modern Design Experience has made it so that it is no longer possible to use take screenshot activity with no selector (you must place it in use application/browser activity). What solution is there to take a screenshot of the full display?

Hi @keong

I’m using ‘Take Screenshot’ activity with no selector in 2020.10.2 and it’s working fine:

You just need to insert the activity and assign a output variable. Check this workflow for an example based on the Robotic Enterprise Framework:

TakeScreenshot.xaml (8.0 KB)

Hi Marcelo, you example does not work for me; as I said, I am using Modern Design Experience. It is no longer possible to just have a free floating screenshot. It will error and say that take screenshot must be in a use application/browser scope.

Hi,

Is there a solution for this?

Despite of using modern design, you can access to classic activities by activating it in the activities panel.

I also faced this problem and think there is no other way to solve it.

You can use Nikolay’s solution.

However my team uses this solution I developed. It’s very effective. Just set the selector to the picture below for the screenshot activity. It sets to the full screen via the explorer.exe.
