How Often Does Hubstaff Take Screenshots?

Hubstaff captures screenshots at customizable intervals that can be set by organization owners or managers. The available options allow screenshots to be taken 1, 2, or 3 times every 10 minutes while an employee is tracking time. 

For example, if the setting is configured to take 3 screenshots, Hubstaff will capture three images of the employee’s screen during each 10-minute interval of active work.

Key Points

• Screenshot Frequency Options: Hubstaff allows users to configure screenshot intervals at 1x, 2x, or 3x every 10 minutes, depending on the level of monitoring required.
• Multiple Monitors: If the user has multiple monitors, Hubstaff will capture screenshots from each active display based on the configured frequency. For instance, with a 2x setting on dual monitors, a total of 4 screenshots could be taken during each 10-minute interval.
• Mobile Apps: Hubstaff’s mobile applications (available on iOS and Android) do not have the capability to take screenshots, focusing instead on GPS tracking and other mobile-specific features.

This level of customization allows organizations to balance monitoring needs with employee privacy, adjusting the screenshot frequency to suit different work environments and roles.
