METHOD FOR CAPTURING LAYERED SCREEN CONTENT

Methods for capturing at least one content layer displayed by a client application executing on a client device. At least one content layer may be displayed by the client device. An indication may be received to capture the at least one content layer by an activating of a capture button to selectively capture one or more currently displayed content layers. The content layers may show a displayed output of a remotely-accessed service application, annotations made by a participant in a collaborative session, a video of a participant, a chat interface between participants or other. A thumbnail associated with the captured content layer(s) is added to a gallery. A user of the client device may click the thumbnail to select, export or remove captured content. Upon export, the captured content layer(s) may be composited into an image file that may be saved locally or in a remote location.
