Screenshot app for MS Teams

Hi,

 

I have a requirement to develop a kind of extension/app for MS Teams to take a screenshot of the desktop and insert it into the chat window during meetings. A screenshot option should be added in the meetings control bar along with mute & chat options.

 

Can anyone suggest how this can be achieved for MS Team on Windows & Mac?

    Hi, silly question, but is hitting print screen and then pasting into chat insufficient? Or win+shift+s to access the snipping tool then paste?

      That will be the last option but for ease of use trying to bring the screenshot option within Teams.

        vivekanandhans, fair.

         

        You can screenshot in power automate for desktop. I would expect you'll want to create a cloudflow triggered from within a powerapp that triggers a desktop flow that takes the screenshot, then triggers another cloud flow to take the screenshot and post into your chat.

         

        I'm afraid I'm not comfortable enough with power automate to help further, but hopefully that helps you with future searching. I am unaware of how you could get a button on the chat screen though, hopefully someone else can help more!
