What’s new: Dropbox Capture

Question

We’ve all been to a lot of online meetings this year, whether it’s for work, school or just to catch up with friends and family. I think we all know the feeling when a meeting isn’t exactly…. necessary.

Well, great news, now you can stay in the loop and share engaging updates without hopping on a call with a new product - Dropbox Capture. Try Dropbox Capture, a new tool to help you to share your thoughts with screenshots, GIFs, or simple videos recorded right on your screen. So you can clearly say what you mean without scheduling another meeting.

Hi there!
&nbsp;
Youcef here from the Dropbox Capture team. I just wanted to follow up and let you know that our most requested feature is here — you can record for longer than 5 minutes on Capture for free.
&nbsp;
Just make sure you are running the latest version of the app (v77.0.9). You can know which version of the app you have by opening Capture &gt; Clicking on the 3 dots menu on the top right &gt; Preferences, and you will see the version at the bottom.
&nbsp;
To update the app:
- macOS: Open Capture &gt; Click on the 3 dots menu on the top right &gt; Check for updates - If it does not work, close the app, then reopen- Windows: Close the app and reopen it. Alternatively, download the latest version on https://www.dropbox.com/capture/install
Let me know what you think about it.
&nbsp;
Thank you so much!

Hello,I am currently working in multiscreen. When I want to take a screenshot on my second screen, it doesn't work. Any idea to solve this problem?

YoucefDropbox · Answer

So sorry about this. Would you mind reaching out to support on&nbsp;support-capture-feedback@dropbox.com?&nbsp;I can assist you there. Would be great also if you can confirm which app version of Capture you are running. Thank you so much!

I love Dropbox Capture and I'm wondering if there's a way to record more than 5 minutes of video?
