anti-screencaptor
« on: November 17, 2020, 07:49 PM »
I noticed how video streaming put up anti-screenshotting like netflix and hbomax, you get a black screen now. Not sure when netflix and hbo implemented it but it was pretty fun screenshotting scenes. I remember it worked back in to 2015 netflix. Any workarounds?

I assume you mean on mobile?

I just took a screenshot of Netflix (PC) with no problems  :huh:

(Edit:)

I took the screenshot via the browser version of Netflix, not the app - are you using the apps?

Hey Stephen,
Strange. I used Chrome Browser on Netflix. Blacked out screenshot. I did a test on Mozilla Firefox. Screenshot pulled through. I guess it's Chrome doing some lockdown now. Good to know Firefox still kickin.
