How Can I Enable Users to Take a Screenshot of Their AR Experience?

End users can always use the native Operating System (Android/iOS) shortcuts to take a screenshot & share it with their friends, family & colleagues using the application (WhatsApp, Email, MMS, etc) of their choice. However, it will be even more convenient to take & share screenshots within the AR experience.

In order to achieve this, You have to enable the option to take screenshots within the experience while setting up the campaign. From the Editor, click on Settings (gear icon at the bottom left of your screen) and in the Actions section, select the Screenshot checkbox.

When this option is enabled, a screenshot button is visible in the experience. By clicking on it, users will see a small preview of the picture taken with 3 buttons included:

• Close

• Share

• Download

Here is a sample Screenshot:

If you prefer the screenshot to be taken at a specific moment or in response to a user's action, consider this alternative method:

• Begin by accessing the 'Interactions' section, where you can select the preferred starting event from the available options.

• Then, click on 'Result of interaction' to find the 'Take screenshot' option among the choices provided.

Using this method eliminates the need to insert a button, allowing users to trigger the action through various types of starting events, such as scene initialization and others.
