Description
My Setup
- My OS name and version: Windows 7
- My current app version: v2.3.0
Description
During talking about ways of use of software or explain things about desktop works, we'd often want to share screen captures or videos. To do this quickly and make this stressless, adding screen capture function would be better as installing the function into Rocket.Chat.Eelectron.
Expected Behavior
- Click a specific button or use shortcuts. Such as macOS screen capture.
- Confirmation message to upload and share pops up.
- Upload and share captured image or video.

Research direction
The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by mapping the Electron desktop UI, shortcut handling, confirmation prompt, and upload flow, while checking the stated Windows 7 context against macOS expectations. Done means users can trigger an image or video capture, confirm it, and upload and share the result.
