I cannot screenshot Netflix

HELLO i too make memes! and its so frustrating and awkward when i take a screen shot of netflix ( forgetting its just a black screen by now ) and go to send it to someone only to realize YET AGAIN its just a blank screen. it makes me feel like i took my netflix memes forgranted, i think it must be a copying thing because ive tried tips and tricks like pressing the buttons in different speeds and even double tapping home ( so all the app screen tabs show) and trying to crop the netflix screen tab like some kinda sneaky little snake and even the tab screen is black.... really dissapointed i cant see them giving it back. i wonder why they even took it away doh? ...

Actually the screenshot thing while in the tabs doesn't work now I just tried it today and it's a black screen which is really ******* me off it feels like Netflix is just controlling my screen and telling me I can't screenshot the video...lol it's annoying...I only found out they don't allow screenshots anymore today although it worked on a video I downloaded on Netflix so idk maybe they have to be downloaded...also what show was that the Simpsons?

That actually wouldn't work either unfortunately...the only thing I think works is if you download the episode because the same day I figured out the screenshots now end up all just black screens one screenshot worked earlier for an episode of my show hat I downloaded...so idk if it was just a glitch that it worked or that they have to be downloaded...turning off wifi and stuff didn't work and neither what you said which many others have suggested to later find out it doesn't work either. But thanks for the reply :)

I put my phone in airplane mode then I was able to screenshot anything from Netflix.

Workaround, not perfect but... pause when you want the screenshot, home button, double click home, finger skills to get biggest unhindered image, then if you want you can crop and edit. Just did it for 7 deadly sins. This scene had me rolling, what happened to other guy??? Closeup blue dramatics.... "he ...... died.... mid-bite. Hahaha

Ok sure that's ok that's fine. At least it would be if I didn't rely on screenshots for my post binge sanity recharge. I need those. I can't just watch a whole season and not capture the best facial expressions. I'm outraged.

There are two glaring issues with your theory: 1) It's not copyright infringement to use a very short clip (such as a screenshot of a video) or passage (less than a paragraph) from a copy written work without reference/citation so long as it isn't used to produce another copy written work, or sold in any form for monetary gain. And, 2) if copywrite infringement were of paramount importance to the legal team at Netflix, then why had we always been able to screenshot their content until just now?

YES !!!! THIS WORKS! I don't take screenshots for anything specific, but sometimes I see an actor or actress on another show and I want to share this on social media. I tried for the first time to take a screenshot of showtime anytime and i got a blank screen. I knew right away this was a copywrite issue. I tried your option and it worked! it's a little tricky tho, the app has to be at the end of the line, you have to hold the app in the center of the screen with one finger and still have two fingers to be available to press the power and home buttons for the screenshot.

keep those glorious memes comin ol' chap

Also If you download the video it will let you screenshot. But it's anoying to always download stuff and if you can only download certain shows and movies.

This works

The timing has changed a bit.

You have to hit both buttons at the same time.

You can no longer hold the power button and tap home

I see. All you have to do is tap the power and tap the home button quick at the same time. I'm running IOS 10 in developer mode and haven't had a problem yet. If I do, I'll be sure to let you know. Hope this helps!

Screenshots from both Netflix and Movies result in a blank screen. Seems like a perfectly valid form of protection for copyrighted content.
