I can't screen capture on my phone, and I can't print screen on my pc either, how very sly of them.

Why? I can always take a normal picture if I want to screen grab a hilarious reaction scene of a show I'm watching, so why do they bother denying it in the first place? Do they not want us to talk about Netflix content and increase word of mouth?

If you screenshot on Crunchyroll it's a black screen with the subtitles

Cant on HBO Max either. Just just get a black screen with subtitles

I understand if they turned off screen recording like fair enough but no screenshots? Thats free advertising when I share my funny meme I was gonna make from the scene

Yeah this exactly

Worked for me on HBO Max as well. Maybe it's only disabled in the apps and not browser versions

You're most likely watching on PC which is like getting on your PC to use the calculator

For those claiming they can still screen grab, are you using the latest update of the app or an older version?

I remember Crunchroll was doing this months ago, but then when I tried again a few months after that I was able to again. Not sure why it would work sometimes.

Netflix on mobile has been this way for a long while, at least 5-6 years. I used to take Sunny screenshots way back when, but then they killed that.

On a computer has been fine though, as others have mentioned.

Otherwise it might be that you have some rooting or program that somehow nullifies netflix's intrusive anti-screen shotting command

Because you can take a screenshot of every frame and upload it to the internet as the movie and thats piracy

Why on earth are you trying to screencap from phone apps? Get on your computer, use your web browser, and hit the Print Screen key. Easy.

Wish I knew how technology works because when I screen gab on my pc, it captures everything on my screen except netflix, which is just a blank black screen save for subtitles. That is scary intrusive if it can somehow detect and disable my print screen button

Browser settings, turn off hardware acceleration. This will enable you to screen grab, and even screen share everything.

It's more a browser thing than a website thing.
