Screen Capture on all screens

Unread post by Tobias Escher »

Currently capturing a region of the screen only works on the screen H+M is displayed on.
I have four screens and usually the window I need to capture is on another screen, so it needs to be moved on top of the H+M window before I can capture it.
The screen capture tool should be able to capture content on any screen.

We too have the same issue, but only with two monitors unfortunately.

This is a basic restriction of simple screen capture -- it will only work correctly on the primary monitor for a number of technical reasons. If you need to capture on multiple screens with more advanced features we recommend getting Snagit from Techsmith.
