How to take a screenshot on a vivo phone (OriginOS 6)

In short

Press the Power and Volume down buttons together, or swipe down with three fingers in the middle of the screen. The three-finger gesture is set in Settings, Shortcuts & accessibility, Super screenshot, which also has the screen recording options.

7 of 7 steps show a real screenshot from our V70 Lite 5G. Each step was checked against the maker's own instructions, linked at the end.

Steps

1. 1

   Done

   Keep Floating window preview on

   A floating window appears after screenshots and screen recordings for quick share, preview and edit. On on ours. It is hidden when recording via Origin island.

   Done
   

If you do not see this option

• No Super screenshot row? Older vivo phones call it S-capture, under Settings, Shortcuts & accessibility or More settings.
• Looking for screen recording? The Looking for other settings? box on the same page links to Record screen (displayed on Origin island).

If this does not work

• Three-finger swipe opens split screen? Split-screen uses three fingers swiping up; screenshots use three fingers swiping down. Swipe down in the middle of the screen.
• Some apps give a black screenshot? Banking and video apps can block screenshots. That is the app, not the phone.
• Buttons take a screenshot instead of changing volume? Press and release both buttons at the same moment. Holding Volume down first changes the volume.

Good to know

Screenshots are saved in Albums, the vivo gallery app.

An area screenshot is useful when you only need part of the screen: swipe down with three fingers and hold, or tap and hold with three fingers.

Screen recording sound: Record system audio captures what the phone plays; the microphone records your voice. Recording in progress. Do not disturb mutes floating notifications and ringtones while you record; it was off on ours.
