User reviews

Users appreciate the YouTube Screenshot Button for its simplicity, reliability, and the ability to save screenshots with accurate timestamps reflecting the video resolution. The extension integrates well with YouTube's interface and is quick to install and use. However, multiple users have noted the absence of hotkey support, occasional issues with screenshot file naming, and the lack of JPG saving options. Some also experience inconsistent button visibility and difficulties when capturing 360-degree videos. Overall, it's a useful tool but could benefit from enhanced functionality and bug fixes.

This app lagged the F out of my computer. Took a screenshot, my whole computer was running hot the rest of the day, performance issues in everything. Tried closing and reopening chrome, nothing worked. Then I realized I enabled this extension before the overheating. Disabled the extension - INSTANTLY fixed. So, definitely be wary of this one.

Extension safety

Risk impact

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

YouTube Screenshot Button requires some sensitive permissions that could impact your browser and data security. Exercise caution before installing.
