android-capture

android-capture makes it easy to capture video and screenshots from Android devices and emulators.

Usage

$ npx android-capture video [<output-filename>] [...options]

or

$ npx android-capture image [<output-filename>] [...options]

Prerequisites

You need to have the Android developer tools installed. In particular, adb must be installed and available in your terminal path.

If you want to capture from a physical device, the device must be paired with your computer via USB debugging or Wireless debugging

Options

• --copy (Screenshots only, macOS only, linux/windows contributions welcome!)

  Copies the screenshot to the clipboard. If no output path is given, no file will be saved.

• --full-res (Video only)

  Records video in full-resolution. By default android-capture reduces the video resolution by 50%, which still offers great quality screen recording.

  May not work with emulators.

• --open

  Opens the file after saving.

• --no-countdown (Video only)

  Skips the '3...2...1...' countdown before starting to record.
