How to Take a Screenshot During Video Calls in Skype

Are you tired of missing out on the opportunity to capture special moments during your Skype video calls? Look no further! In this article, we will guide you through the process of taking a screenshot during your video calls using Skype.

To start, sign in to your Skype account and open the chat where you shared or received a picture. Click on the Gallery icon under the Chat or Group header to access all sent and received files. From here, you can navigate to the panel by clicking Tools > Options and checking Enable keyboard shortcuts and Take a snapshot during video calls.

Skype has a built-in setting in the Options panel that allows you to take still screenshots for your video calls. To enable this feature, go to Advanced > Hotkeys and select Take a snapshot during video calls. You can also set up a hotkey combination using Shift, Ctrl, or Alt keys by clicking on the 'Hotkeys' tab.

Once you have enabled the screenshot feature, you can take a snapshot of your video call at any time. To do this, simply click on the Gallery icon and select Take a snapshot during video calls. A window will pop-up where you can enter your desired hotkey combination. From here, you can choose to save the snapshot in the chat window or manually save it to a location on your computer.

It's worth noting that the snapshots feature is no longer available in Skype, but you can still access your previous snapshots by clicking View > Snapshots Gallery: Select the snapshot of your choice, and click the Locate button. Your computer will do a search for the selected image and point you to the folder where it is being stored.

Unfortunately, the new version of Skype does not have the same feature as Skype classic 7, which allowed users to save snapshots in their gallery without sharing them with friends. However, you can still manually save your snapshots to a location on your computer by right-clicking on the snapshot preview and selecting Save as.

In conclusion, taking a screenshot during video calls in Skype is a simple process that can help you capture special moments with your friends and family. By following these steps, you can enable the screenshot feature and start capturing memories today!
