How can you take a snapshot in cockpit? Is the only way to map a button to the joystick? I got that to work, but i am wondering if you can get a button on the cockpit screen so you can click on to take a snapshot. Kind of the same button like the record video button on the bottom right on the screen.

Cheers

Hi @Jhans,

There’s a [Snapshot mini-widget](https://blueos.cloud/cockpit/docs/latest/usage/advanced/#snapshot-recorder) similar to the video recording one 🙂
