    Developers have many reasons for preventing Android users from taking screenshots or screen recordings of in-app content. Usually its for security but sometimes its to protect copyrighted material. Jason Howell walks through some examples of how this is enforced, and a few ways to work around those limitations.

    • What kinds of apps prevent screenshots.
    • Why they do that!
    • Screenshot shortcut on most devices.
    • Assistant's Screen Context feature.
    • What is Digital Right Management?
    • The open-source app scrcpy.
    • Using a computer to take a screenshot in an app that prevents it.
    • The analog hole.
