DJX 18 Posted February 14, 2022 Share Posted February 14, 2022 Hi Would it be possible to have optional functionality maybe via a server flag that would stop users being able to take a screenshot whilst emby is open. This is similar to what banks implement. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CBers 6768 Posted February 14, 2022 Share Posted February 14, 2022 Why would you want to stop users from taking screenshots? On a Shield, the taking of screenshots is controlled at the device level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose I'm missing something here: How does that even relate to one another? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Above also applies to mobile browsers, from which you can just as well access your server, so you wouldn't be preventing much - or only partially, and still not knowing whether something was screenshotted or not. Don't get me wrong, I have nothing against your request as it doesn't affect me at all, just sharing thoughts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJX 18 Posted February 14, 2022 Author Share Posted February 14, 2022 (edited) Ye8s point taken. However my users are limited to sign in by android device only via device access. So if a flag could somehow block the screen shot functionality for my server that would be great. Edited February 15, 2022 by DJX Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That wouldn't make much sense when there would be no way to prevent this in many situations. So, it would just need to be in the app. We will monitor this request for support. Thanks.

Okay understood. That switch was to cater for those who dont have my use case as I presume less people use emby for a private photo sharing platform than anything else thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
