Add-on summary

Take a screenshot of the video being played in the <video> element on video sites such as YouTube, Twitter and Twitch. This cannot handle GIF animations. If the web page has multiple videos, the first one found and playing is the target. If there is no video being played, the first video found that has not been played to the end is targeted. This includes videos that have not started playing. If all videos have been played to the end, target the video at the beginning of the page. Taking a screenshot is done using shortcut keys. Screenshots can be saved to the default download directory or copied to the clipboard.

If you could specify the year, month, day, hour, minute, and second in the save file name, it would have been convenient because you could arrange images created from multiple videos in the order in which they were viewed.

The tab freezes really badly, hotkeys do not work correctly and you have to exit full screen to be able to take a screenshot because it does not have a button-icon like other extensions next to the controls for easy use.

Saving screenshots as a file works, but I cannot get the copy to clipboard feature to work.
