Steps to capture a screenshot with a countdown timer

1

Get started

Open the extension from your browser.

2

Select countdown timer: 3 seconds / 6 seconds

Open the "⏱️Capture" dropdown to select the countdown for 3 or 6 seconds (By default, it's set to capture screens instantly).

Select screenshot mode and capture

Click on a screenshot capture mode: Crop & Capture, Visible Screen, or Full Page, and capture the bug.

For instance, if you have selected the "Crop & Capture" option for your screenshot with a time delay of 3 seconds, you can click on it and drag your mouse to select the screen area for cropping.

The cropped area will be captured with a countdown timer displayed along with it.

After the timer ends, you'll get the screenshot, ready to be annotated.
