Classic Screenshots
It is currently possible to share small videos of a few seconds through Instagram Direct. That is, from the chats within Instagram. They are like a story but with the exception that they can only be played once or twice After this action the video disappears forever. And exactly the same happens with the photographs that are sent through the same channel. Once they meet, goodbye.
Classic screenshot, which allows you to take a picture of the terminal screen, can work to a certain extent. The first thing to understand is that this is a still photograph So just take a quick capture of the video. The second thing is that Instagram alerts the interlocutor of this practice.So taking screenshots can give you away with a notification in the conversation. The only alternative, then, is to take a video capture.
Video capture
Applications such as AZ Screen Recorder, available free for Android mobiles, allows you to record the mobile screen on video. In fact, it has several options to configure the bitrate, resolution and quality of the capture. And most importantly, it can be used to capture any of the videos received through Instagram Direct conversations
Just launch it before accessing any pending Instagram Direct message. Once the recording is underway, we can move around the mobile freely and without any type of restriction. Thus, all that remains is to click on the Instagram notification or move to the private chat and finally play the video you were about to see
The application captures sound and movement That is, the resulting content is a video of the original video. Enough to have graphic and animated testimony of the original content. Perhaps not with the same quality, and with a somewhat more arduous recording process, but effective.
