Screenshots Batch

The Screenshot Batch module allows you to capture a series of desktop screenshots and play them back like a video using the built-in player. This feature is optimized to significantly reduce resource usage, particularly disk space.

This feature is available for Windows and Linux agents.

Here are the options in the Screenshots Batch module:

Option

Description

Screenshots batches

Allows recording multiple screenshots at once.

Interval between screenshots,
milliseconds.

Specifies the time interval between time interval between shots.

Duration of screenshots batch,
in seconds

Defines how long the batch recording lasts.
The optimal duration is 10 minutes (600 seconds).

Bits per Pixel

Allows you to set the color depth of the screenshots.
Supported values:

  • 1: Black and white.

  • 2, 4, 8: Shades of gray.

  • 24, 32: full-color screenshots.


The lower the bit depth, the less disk space is required,
but the quality decreases.
Other bit depth values will be rounded up: e. g. 7 rounds to 8,
10 rounds to 24.

Compression method

Select an algorithm for compressing screenshots. Allowed values:

  • 0: Fast algorithm optimized for low-performance PCs.

  • 1: Efficient compression algorithm (default).

Compression level

Defines the level of compression
Allowed values: from 0 to 9.
Higher values result in better compression but may increase PC load.

Auto adjustment
compression level

Automatically adjusts the optimal ratio between the Compression Algorith
and Compression Level, based on a workstage performance.
The Compression Level will not go below 3 when auto-tuning is enabled.
