Google is set to introduce a new feature called ‘Save video frame’ in Chrome that will simplify the process of taking a screenshot from videos.
As of now, Google Chrome users face challenges when trying to take screenshots from YouTube videos or other online platforms without capturing the video player’s UI. However, the new option will allow users to save still frames from videos on desktop, eliminating all the junk.

This feature was initially introduced as ‘Copy video frame’ back in August in Chrome’s Canary version. But at that time, it required users to copy the frame and then paste it into a separate file to save it. However, it has evolved into ‘Save video frame’ in subsequent Chrome versions.
On December 15, Google further streamlined the process by eliminating the need to paste the frame into a different file. Now, when you use this option, the frame will be directly saved.
Previously, users had to enable this feature via a flag, but it is now enabled by default in Chrome Canary, a developer-centric version of Google Chrome that receives nightly build updates. This new capability is anticipated to be available in stable version of Chrome 122, scheduled for release in February.
If you’re eager to try out this feature immediately, you’ll need to switch to the latest Canary version of Chrome. However, it’s important to note that Canary is tailored for developers and undergoes frequent modifications. This makes it less stable than the stable Chrome browser. So, you should proceed with caution if you want to try the Canary version. Otherwise, you can wait for this feature to be available in the stable version.
