Screenshots on demand, from a screen's page

The Screenshot card on a screen's Overview tab has a "Take screenshot" button, so you can see what a screen shows right now instead of waiting for its next automatic screenshot.

You've just changed a playlist and want to know whether the lobby screen picked it up. Until now, the screenshot on the screen's page was the last one the screen sent on its own, which happens about every 15 minutes, so the answer could be a quarter of an hour old.

Now you can ask a screen for a fresh screenshot whenever you need one. Press "Take screenshot" on the screen's Overview, the screen captures what it's showing at that moment, and the new screenshot appears on the page as soon as it arrives.

It works on screens that are online and not in privacy mode, on ScreenlyOS 26.9.0 or newer, the release that added the screenshot command to players.
