Playing videos on phone


There are many brands' smartphones like Xiaomi, Vivo, Blackview, OnePlus, Oscal, etc., support three-finger screenshot feature, but can users use three-finger screenshot while playing videos? Whether you can use the three-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 most Android devices that support the three-finger screenshot gesture, you can use it while playing videos. However, it might not work in certain apps or video players if they block screenshots for security or content protection reasons (like streaming apps such as Netflix, which typically block 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 generally do not support a native three-finger screenshot gesture. Instead, they use the traditional button combination or assistive touch features. For apps that block screenshots, you won't be able to take a screenshot 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.
