# Delayed screenshot

Sometimes, you may want to capture screenshots with a few seconds delay. Yes, it's just like your smartphone camera feature that allows you to capture images with a countdown timer. 

BetterBugs also comes with a feature that allows you to set up a 3 or 5-second delay/countdown timer while capturing screenshots.
