How To Automatically Capture Screenshots With MultiScreenshots?
MultiScreenshots is a portable software, so you can directly run it. Just download its zip archive and extract the application file into a folder. After this, open its interface by double-clicking on its application file.
On its interface, you need to fill some details to start the auto screenshot capturing process. Details such as:
- Destination location for screenshots. Here, shortcoming is that it provides only ‘C’ drive location to save screenshots.
- Output format: jpg or bmp. If you choose jpg format, then you will be able to set the quality level for screenshots.
- Prefix and suffix to screenshots names (optional).
- Set time interval to capture screenshots automatically. It is the most important part that lets you set time interval in seconds as well as stop time to capture screenshots. Minimum time to capture screenshots is 10 seconds and maximum time can be set by you accordingly.
- At the bottom part on its interface, you need to set the capture option; whole desktop screen or a specific area of screen. If you select a specific area option, then you have to choose two points on a preview window using left mouse button, and it will create a box based on those points. This box will be used to capture the screenshots.
Once you have done with the settings, hit the play button and MultiScreenshots will be minimized to Windows taskbar. And based on the time interval, it will capture screenshots automatically. To stop capturing screenshots, restore its interface, and use Stop button.
