Stadia Content Captures Not Saveable or Shareable in App 🎮
Welcome back to ShareSTADIA! Google recently introduced screenshots, screen captures and “content captures” to the Stadia app. On the web version of Stadia.com, content captures are currently not supported, and you’re greeted with this message:
“Save video clips & screenshots by pressing the [assistant] button on a Stadia Controller or F12 on your keyboard, then view them in the mobile app.”
Here’s also what Google shared with us about Stadia Content Captures:
Can’t Save or Share STADIA Content Captures
The only problem is, when viewing them in the Stadia app, there’s nothing you can do with your Stadia content captures. It doesn’t allow you to zoom in on your captures (however, rotating your screen does give you a larger, properly fitted version).
The Stadia app doesn’t allow you to share your Stadia content capture, and it doesn’t allow you to save the photo to your phone.
At present, we’re stuck with only being able to screenshot an image of our image. 👀 The only other available options are to delete the image, or just close out of the capture and back to the main gallery.
Waiting for a Google Update on Sharing Content Captures
Sooo… in reality, we’re still waiting to find out why. Surely it’s being worked on and almost ready — just unsure what the point of releasing it was when it’s not functional at all.
We’re hoping that Stadia content captures are shareable and saveable soon! We’ll keep you updated as more information is released, and also hoping that Google can let us know. We’re glad we could at least share ours for now with print screen!

This isn’t a perfect solution but I spoke to @GoogleStadia on Twitter and this is a workaround. Hopefully they will implement a better solution in future:
1. Go to http://takeout.google.com
2. Login using the Google account associated with your Stadia account
3. Press “Deselect all”
4. Select the Stadia app
5. Export all clips and images.
Thanks for the info! Sorry it took us so long to reply. This was clutch!
It *can* be done but it isn’t ideal at the moment. You will need to go to https://takeout.google.com/ and log in as yourself. Deselect everything and scroll down to select your Stadia data. Then you can download all your data which includes a folder for screen captures. As I said, not ideal but a good workaround until they sort it out properly.
