Understanding Browser Permissions

Screen capture uses the browser's Screen Capture API, which requires:

• HTTPS Connection: Screen capture only works on secure connections (HTTPS) or localhost for security reasons.
• User Permission: You must explicitly grant permission each time you take a screenshot. Browsers don't allow automatic screen capture.
• Modern Browser: Supported in Chrome, Edge, Firefox, and other modern browsers. Safari has limited support.
• Privacy Protection: Your screenshots are processed entirely in your browser and never uploaded to any server.
