Screenshots

Optional screenshots with clear privacy controls

Create a visual record of work with adjustable intervals, blur settings and retention rules.

Worktivity takes screenshots only when your organization switches the feature on, at an interval between 1 and 60 minutes. Each capture sits next to the application in front, the minute's activity level and the task it belongs to, and you decide whether images are blurred and who can see them.

How it works

How screenshots work in Worktivity

An interval you choose

Captures are taken every 1 to 60 minutes of recorded work, per person. Your plan sets the shortest interval you can pick.

Blurred before it leaves the computer

With blur on, the image is blurred on the employee's computer before upload. The readable version is never sent or stored, so there is nothing to un-blur later.

Context on every capture

Each capture shows the person, the time, the application or site host in front, the activity level of that minute and an idle badge when the minute was idle.

Different rules for one person

The organization setting is the default. One person can have a different interval, blur or no screenshots at all through their own tracking settings.

Clear rules on who sees what

Owners and co-owners see everyone, managers see their own team, and employees see their own captures only if you allow it. Deleting has its own permissions.

In practice

Why teams keep screenshots on

Screenshots answer questions the activity records cannot.

  • Evidence for billable work

    When a client questions an invoice, the captures from those hours show what was on screen.

  • Context for an odd day

    A day with low activity or long idle stretches is easier to understand with the screen beside the numbers.

  • Timelapse from the same captures

    Where your plan includes it, Worktivity stitches captures into short timelapse videos, so a day can be reviewed in minutes.

  • Proof without the content

    Blurred captures show that work was happening and in which application, without keeping what was written.

Limits

What it does not do

Screenshots are the most intrusive part of tracking, so the limits matter.

  • Nothing on a break or outside a shift

    No image is taken while someone is on a break, clocked out or has the screen locked.

  • Off is a real option

    Screenshots can be switched off for the whole organization or for one person. Time, activity and application records carry on without them.

  • Kept for your retention window only

    Captures are deleted when your plan's retention window ends, and an add-on can extend it to 12 months. A deleted capture cannot be recovered.

Who uses it

Teams that get the most out of it

Screenshots are most useful where work has to be shown, not just counted.

  • Agencies

    Captures from billable hours back up an invoice when a client asks what the time went on.

  • Staff augmentation

    Clients who pay for remote staff can be shown the work behind the hours.

  • BPO and back office

    Blurred captures confirm work in the right systems without storing customer data.

  • Remote teams

    Context for managers who never see the screen, with blur for sensitive work.

  • Finance, legal and healthcare administration

    Blurred or switched off wherever records on screen must not be readable.

  • Software teams

    Often switched off, because activity and application records are usually enough.

Add visual context to tracked time

Choose the capture interval and privacy settings, then review screenshots alongside the hours and tasks they support.
