How to screenshot a long Slack conversation

Screenshot a long Slack conversation or thread

1. Open Slack in Chrome

   Add Scrolvo from the Chrome Web Store, then open your Slack workspace in Chrome and go to the channel, message or thread.

2. Let Scrolvo load earlier messages

   Slack loads older messages only as you scroll up, but you don't have to: Load earlier messages first, in Capture settings, is on by default, so Scrolvo scrolls the channel or thread up until no older messages load. To capture only recent messages, turn it off and scroll up to the first message you want; Scrolvo then captures from what's loaded.

3. Pick the message list

   Click the Scrolvo icon in the toolbar to open the side panel. Choose Scrolling area, then click anywhere in the messages, or in the thread.

4. Press Capture the whole area

   Scrolvo loads earlier messages, then scrolls the messages from the first one down and stitches every shot into one image. Slack removes messages far off screen, so Scrolvo waits for each part to redraw before every shot. Press Stop here while it's loading to start from what has loaded.

5. Save or edit it

   Click Download to save the capture as a PNG, or Edit to save it as a JPG or PDF. With Scrolvo Pro, the editor also crops it, adds arrows, boxes or text, or blurs private details first.

• Free captures are up to 150 shots long. Scrolvo Pro goes up to 1000.
• Scrolvo Pro adds blur, a highlighter and numbered steps, for screenshots you share at work.
