Microsoft Edge and Google Chrome together will be updating the platform to enable users to "save the frame" from YouTube videos. The new feature will enable the users to save screenshots from the playing video on the video streaming platform and in the original resolution as it was being played in the video. The photograph will be saved in the PNG format.
Post the introduction of the "copy video frame" option on YouTube, Google has further added an additional feature which enables users to save video frames directly on their device, Bleeping Computer reported.
The new feature will be added to the Microsoft Edge Canary build soon (no date and timeline specified by the company, by the time of writing).
