What are screenshots on Roblox?
A screenshot is a way to capture and save a snapshot of what is displayed on your device screen within an experience. When you take a screenshot, we remove the in-experience UI.
Screenshots are available for all users and supported on desktop and mobile devices. Users can toggle this feature on or off at any time from their in-experience controls.

- Once the image is shared, an invite link will be added to take the recipient to the experience session that you are in
- Note: Not all devices and/or apps support including both a screenshot and an invite link, so results may vary
If you are no longer in the experience when the invite link is clicked, the recipient will enter the experience with a message that you are no longer there.
When a screenshot is taken, we remove the in-experience UI and the names above any avatars within the frame of the screenshot.

What happens to my screenshots if I delete the Roblox application from my device?

Safety and Privacy
What safety tools are in place for users when they take and share screenshots?
When a screenshot is taken, we remove all Roblox aliases of any avatars that are within the frame of the screenshot. There is no voice or audio that is recorded in the screenshot either.
What happens if someone takes and shares inappropriate content from Roblox?
We have our Community Standards to help ensure that everyone feels safe and welcome in our shared adventure. These standards apply to all actions on Roblox and with other users on Roblox.
If you see content that you believe violates the Community Standards, within a screenshot taken from our platform, we encourage you to let us know by using the Report Abuse feature. For more information about the legal terms that govern the use of Roblox, head over to our Terms of Use.
