Screenshots

Save exactly what Kaveo is showing — a video and its controls, or any other screen — as a picture file.

  1. Press F12 anywhere in Kaveo: in the library, in Settings, or while a video plays.
  2. Kaveo saves it as a PNG file in a screenshots folder inside its cache folder:
    • on Linux, the kaveo folder inside the hidden .cache folder in your home folder;
    • on Windows, AppData\Local\kaveo\cache, a screenshots folder inside.
  3. Kaveo shows no message when it saves one — look for the new file in that folder.
  • While a private title is open in the player, even behind another screen, Kaveo refuses the capture and says No screenshot: this title is hidden.
  • Each file is named with a number that grows, so the newest screenshot has the largest number.
  • On Windows, F12 takes no screenshot while a video is in exclusive fullscreen.
