On-demand screenshots enable Admins and Managers (with the needed permissions) to manually capture real-time screenshots of employees' screens in real-time, providing a snapshot of their current activities. This feature is essential for monitoring productivity, ensuring compliance, and gaining insights into employee workflow.

On-Demand Screenshots is an Add-on feature, an optional enhancement to your existing subscription that provides you with an ability to generate instant snapshots.

Admins and Managers can access these screenshots instantly for review and analysis, facilitating efficient management and supervision of remote or distributed teams.

Creating Screenshots in real-time

One can take On-demand screenshots from the Real time insights screen. To take a screenshot, simply click on the camera icon on the right side in line with the selected employee.

Accessing manually taken Screenshots

The taken screenshot becomes almost instantly available for you to review, zoom in on, see the app/website in focus and its productivity label etc.

If you request multiple screenshots of multiple employees consecutively, the screenshot you requested first will be previewed as described above, and the others will be available in the Screenshots page.

If you set up screenshot blurring in your Settings, and take a screenshot on-demand, such screenshots will appear on the Screenshots page within 30 minutes after being taken.

This allows you to quickly find and review only the screenshots you took manually.

Who can take on-demand Screenshots?

For Admins this option is enabled by default.

For Managers to be able to take on-demand screenshots, they need to be allowed to view Screenshots in the first place. This can be set up on the following page: Settings → User management → Managers. It can be done when creating a new Manager or editing an existing one's settings.
