Cameras & capture
How do I capture a browser window after its page title changes?
Review the matching choice for a changing target.
Before you start
Open the intended collection and prepare sample content for a rehearsal. Confirm the controls are available in your installed version.
Where to find it
Window Capture Properties > Window Match Priority.
Steps
- Open and select the intended window.
- For changing pages, review Match title, otherwise find window of same executable.
- Save and check the committed source, then navigate to another page.
- Reopen MCast and verify that it chose the intended window when more than one window uses that executable.
Check the result
Capture follows the intended target subject to the selected match policy.
Helpful information
Exact-title or generic-class matching can leave a restarted changing-title window unavailable. Executable matching is broader and may need manual selection when several similar windows are open. It does not resolve every covered-window capture issue.
If something is wrong
Refresh/reselect the target, check method/permissions and try with the window visible. Do not assume a browser tab and a browser window are the same capture target.
