What Can You Capture Using Screenshots on Apple TV 4K
The method that we recommend for taking screenshots onApple TV 4Kusing your Mac comes with a few limitations. Since streaming platforms offer content that is protected using DRM (Digital Rights Management), you can’t really take a screenshot of every piece of content on these platforms. We tried taking a screenshot of various streaming platforms like Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, Disney+, Mubi, and Apple TV Plus.
It seems that Netflix, Prime Video, Mubi, and Apple TV Plus allow taking screenshots of their interface. The moment you start content playback, the screen goes black on your Mac.
However, this is not applicable to Disney+ and YouTube as they both let you take screenshots while any content plays.
You can also take screenshots while games like Asphalt 8: Airborne on your Apple TV 4K.
