Screenshots

Sentry makes it possible to automatically take a screenshot and include it as an attachment when a user experiences an error, an exception or a crash.

This feature is only available for SDKs with a user interface, like the ones for mobile and desktop applications. It's also limited by whether taking a screenshot is possible or not. For example, in some environments, like native iOS, taking a screenshot requires the UI thread, which often isn't available in the event of a crash. Another example where a screenshot might not be available is when the event happens before the screen starts to load. So inherently, this feature is a best effort solution.

Enabling Screenshots

Because screenshots may contain PII, they are an opt-in feature. To attach screenshots to your events, navigate to Project Settings > Sentry > Options and enable the Attach Screenshot option:

Or, like so, if you're configuring things programatically:

extends SentryConfiguration

func _configure(options: SentryOptions):
	options.attach_screenshot = true

Viewing Screenshots

If one is available, you'll see a thumbnail of the screenshot when you click on a specific issue from the Issues page.

You can see an overview of all the screenshots for the issue as well as associated events by pressing the "View All" button.
