Screen shot using skype made easy.

Legacy_user

If you have an ipad and if you use skype, you may wish to capture a screen shot. The word nightmare comes to mind, as oyu have to press the power button and home screen button at the same time which =when your holding the tablet, is no easy task.

BUT, I've just discovered another way.

Hold your iPad with one hand, enable Assisitve Touch on Settings - General - Accessibility before the call. A small, dark, transparent button will appear and slide to one to sides of your iPad. When you intend to take a screenshot, tap the button.

There is a multiple choice of options then, tap the tablet icon and a grey button appears and floats as you rotate the ipad.

I've yet to use it on a skype, but have on something else and wow, it works.

Isn't the iStuff supposed to be easy to use? On my Android I just need to press and hold the recent application button and the screenshot is saved...

Yes I know, I had a galaxy tab 3 prior to the iPad and I found screen saving to be excellent. With this new greyed out button, I can't wait to try it out tomorrow.
