I am trying to use screencapture module in my svelte project. And for capturing screen recordings, it works great. However, is there an option I can use to capture a screenshot i.e. an image, instead of a video? I would also like to feed this image into the image editor next.
Hi, that’s a feature we definitely want but hasn’t been implemented:
We’re currently working towards 4.0, we can work on it afterwards 
Would gladly take contributions for this!
The screen-capture plugin is where we would add this. I haven’t looked into web APIs you would use for this but the plugin is relatively small so it shouldn’t be too hard.
We have also have contributing guide.
I’m not very fluent in react but to anyone who wants to take a shot at it, might I recommend this library for inspiration:
It uses native browser APIs and has no external dependencies. Once the image data is captured, maybe it can be fed into already existing image editor plugin for further cropping.
Looks like the screen-capture plugin is used for the Screencast feature. Do you expect screenshot to be a part of this as well? I am not able to visualize how both Screencast & Screenshot could be in the same feature. Just making sure, the idea is to have additional import option called Screenshot for the Screenshot functionality.
I would add an extra button to the UI of the screen-capture plugin for taking screenshots. If you implement the functionality and add a button, I can get the design over the finish line.
