Screen capture
Storyboard
Capturing images from the screen in a browser is above all a security problem since third parties could gain access to our equipment and, through a webcam, be able to directly observe what is happening around the computer. For this reason there are few tools for screen capture and these are specific to certain browsers. Therefore, the work with the validator is restricted to the Google Chrome browser and uses the Screen Capture 3.7 extension, eventually supplemented with RTCRecord. It is possible that it works in other browsers, however support is not given since the system was not designed for it.
