What is the Capture feature?

The Capture feature is a convenient tool that allows you to easily submit reports to developers when conducting app tests from a device. When taking a screenshot, the Capture feature can acquire app and device information, save logs, and record videos (screen recording) through the Screenshot feature and Replay feature to share with developers.
