Screenshots and storage

How are screenshots used?

Screenshots help admins verify work activity and review context during tracked work hours. Capture behavior depends on the organization's configured rules.

Where are screenshots stored?

Admins can connect company storage such as Google Drive or OneDrive so screenshots are stored in the configured company destination.
