Turn off screenshot sound?

Using /e/OS Settings
1

Is it possible to disable the screenshot sound? If I turn Ring volume off then screenshot makes no sound (it just vibrates) so it seems to be tied to Ring volume/sound settings - which do not have an option to select notification sound.

/e/ v 18, Sony z5c

I found a switch, but it did not seem to work for me! :slight_smile:

Settings > Apps & Notifications > See all apps > 3 dot menu > Show system > System UI > Notifications > Screenshots.

I think that won’t control the sound made when a screenshot is taken, it controls the Status bar notification saying ‘Screenshot saved. Tap to view your sreenshot’

Do I misunderstand silent? :slight_smile:

… but you are right that it suppresses the unneeded notification. Oh I see, you are saying that there could be a sound notification also that we are giving you the notification! :hot_face:

Thanks for the patient feedback @petefoth.

There are some that say that the screenshot shutter could only be silenced nicely with a switch in Settings > Sound > Advanced

I did enjoy a peaceful screenshot here by fully muting the bell icon in volume control. (Calls and notifications will be muted.)

@aibd I wouldn’t want to request dev work for such a small thing when there are more important /e/ work to be done. I’m happy for now just to turn off bell sound first using volume buttons, then take screenshots, then turn bell sound back on.

Thanks folks.

Never thought of turning that sound off so I went looking to see what I have. Various custom ROMs do have such a toggle.
FireHound Oreo (LOS-based), Havoc Pie, and crDroid A11 (LOS-based) can toggle the screenshot sound.
A10 & A11 /e/OS and LeOS-R do not have the feature. Not sure but I do not think that it is available in the basic LineageOS(?).
