A feature not known to many Xiaomi TV users is the quick screen capture of picture or video while watching the movies.   This feature has 3 functions for screen cleaner,   screen capturing and screen recording。 

How to Access this feature?


While watching the TV,  press “Home” button twice quickly,  one should reach to the following screen showing 3 buttons for cleaning,  screen capturing and screen video recording。




What are the Functions for the 3 buttons

1.    Cleaner :  Pressing it will clear all the screens leaving only the main menu screen and the setting screen at the top;
2.    Screen Capture :  Pressing this will capture a screen instantly and a notice will be displayed when completed;
3.    Screen Recording:  This button will record a short video of about 15 seconds,  A notice will also be displayed.


How to Retrieve the Capture Files

1.  Fire up ES File Explorer once downloaded,  one should reach this screen.




2.  Select “Local” Folder and click “Internal Storage”  then scroll down the page, one would be greeted by this screen



3,  The video and screen captured files are kept in one of the 2 files called “ScreenCapture” or “ScreenRecorder”; an example is shown here.
