How to save screenshots taken from VM into VM dekstop

Help Studio
1

Hi All
I have a small query regarding taking Screen-shots.
I have a UiPath Bot running on the local system and interacting with the VM.
It will take Screen-shot from the virtual system and save it in the users local system using Save Screenshot command.
But , I want to understand can I save those screenshots in the Virtual Machine Desktop.
Since the Save Screenshot activity asks for the Path and via local system, we cannot access the VM path, so is it possible to save screenshot on the VM while we have the Studio on the local system.

Please share your thoughts.

Happy Learning!!

Hello @Heena_Saini

Hope your process is running on the local machine and you may be interacting with VM using computer vision or citrix automation. Then if you take the screenshot as per my understanding it will get save in your local.

Or please confirm whether the bot is running in vm or not.

Thanks

Yes, it is running on the local system.
so just want confirmation that it cannot be saved on the VM right since the VM path Save screenshot activity cannot locate.
It will be saved on my local system and that I am able to do.
Need an understanding if it can be saved on VM or not while Bot is running on local.

As your process is running in your locally and not on VM, the screenshots will get saved locally.

You could try to save the screenshot on the VM using clipboard.
Check if the clipboard is active on the VM if so you could try some different methods like… make the robot copy the file and paste it in the VM or opening the screenshot in paint then opening the paint on the VM and paste. Or send the screenshout to the clipboard and paste it directly in paint on the VM (assuming that the VM has paint installed).
