Have you ever attempted to capture a screenshot from a video you’re viewing? Usually, the result isn’t very appealing, as the image often turns out to be of subpar quality. However, Google has now introduced a new feature, “Copy Video Frame” in the latest Chrome browser version that addresses this problem.
In a blog post focused on college students, Google revealed this new feature arriving to Chrome browsers starting today.
To use this feature, Google suggests that you simply pause the video you’re currently viewing and then perform a right-click anywhere within the video frame. This action will trigger a menu to appear, and within that menu, you’ll find the option “Copy Video Frame.”
While it might appear quite similar to capturing a screenshot, there are notable distinctions. As explained in the blog post, when you pause a video and take a screenshot, you’ll end up with a lower-quality image, and the video’s progress bar will invariably be included. Conversely, with the Copy Video Frame option, you obtain a pristine copy of the precise frame you desire, boasting superior quality and devoid of the distracting progress bar.
In terms of practical applications, Google suggests that this feature could prove beneficial if you’re watching a lecture and wish to capture a pivotal moment for your notes. It could also come in handy when you’re working on a project and require a standout image.
Additionally, alongside this feature introduction, Google has informed users that the Journeys feature has undergone a rebranding and is now referred to as “grouped history.”
