Description

Developers have many reasons for preventing Android users from taking screenshots or screen recordings of in-app content. Usually its for security but sometimes its to protect copyrighted material. Jason Howell walks through some examples of how this is enforced, and a few ways to work around those limitations.


  • What kinds of apps prevent screenshots.

  • Why they do that!

  • Screenshot shortcut on most devices.

  • Assistant's Screen Context feature.

  • What is Digital Right Management?

  • The open-source app scrcpy.

  • Using a computer to take a screenshot in an app that prevents it.

  • The analog hole.
