Screenshots and Screen Recordings - What To Do When Android Won't Let You

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.
