Can you use three-finger screenshot while playing videos?

There are many brands' smartphones like Huawei, Xiaomi, Blackview, OnePlus, Oscal, etc., support three-finger screenshot feature, but can users use 3-finger screenshot while playing videos? Whether you can use the 3-finger screenshot feature while playing videos depends on the specific device and operating system you're using.

Here's a general overview:

Android Devices: On many Android devices that support the three-finger screenshot gesture, you can use it while watching videos. However, it may not function in specific apps or video players if they restrict screenshots for security or content protection purposes (like streaming platforms such as Netflix, which usually disable screenshots).

MIUI (Xiaomi Devices): Xiaomi devices with MIUI that support the three-finger screenshot gesture usually allow you to take screenshots while playing videos. But again, if the video is being played in an app that restricts screenshots, the feature might not work.

OnePlus Devices: OnePlus devices with OxygenOS also support three-finger screenshots, and you can generally use this gesture while playing videos. However, the same restrictions apply depending on the app.

iPhones: iPhones typically do not support a built-in three-finger screenshot gesture. Instead, they rely on the standard button combination or assistive touch options. For apps that restrict screenshots, taking one will be impossible regardless of the method.

If you find that the three-finger screenshot isn't working while playing a video, try using the traditional screenshot method (e.g., pressing the volume down and power buttons simultaneously). If the issue persists, it might be due to the app's restrictions.
