Screenshots: intervals, monitors and deleting

How often screenshots are taken, who sees them and when employees can delete them.

Updated October 22, 2026 1 min read

How often

The desktop app takes a screenshot every 3, 5 or 10 minutes while the timer runs. Org Admins set the default in Global Settings → Screenshot Interval, and it can be changed for one person on their Settings tab.

Multiple monitors

Every monitor is captured as its own screenshot, labelled with the monitor’s name.

Who sees them

Employees see their own. Managers see their team. HR Managers see everyone except people excluded from HR. Org Admins see everyone. Screenshots are never shared with AI apps.

Deleting screenshots

When Allow Screenshot Delete is on, employees can delete their own recent screenshots. See Delete your own screenshots.
