Screenshot in Chatter

Chatter & Files

So far I haven't found and answer how to include a screenshot in chatter. Only way is to copy and paste screen in a seperate doc (e.g paint, ppt) than attach as file.
Would be good to paste a screenshot directly.
Thanks

It is a little silly for people to have to attach images, rather than just paste them.

I doubt we will ever see this because they now have Salesforce anywhere and Slack. I would be looking to integrate Slack (if you have it) or buy SF Anywhere if that is within your budget.

FYI you can paste images into a "Note"! Create the Note & paste your screenshot, then reference it in Chatter. It is much faster than trying to take a screenshot and then rename the file then attach it to Chatter. I made notes the first related object and placed it on the right-hand side of the screen (collapsable set to default open). This way your eyes just glance to the right and see the notes.

It's sad but "this is the way".

Why is it taking Salesforce so long to implement this. You can paste screen shots in emails from Salesforce. You can paste screen shots into Rich Text Area fields. This is way over due!

You like to talk about saving clicks, yet you haven't implemented this feature? It takes sooo much longer to save the file and reupload it than just paste a screenshot in the feed.

Absolutely necessary feature- a shame that something this basic has not yet been prioritized by Salesforce.

Dear Stefan, you are absolutely right with your statement. Really sad!
In combination with a picture recognition AI this feature could be a real value add by improving the useability and the knowledge management. With that feature you could search for different tags or combination of tags and find the solution or the right example picture faster.
Right now this potential is not recognized by SFDC and that wont change so quick because the amount of pictures added to chatters is really limitted. SFDC Analysts will never recognize that topic because users avoid storing pictures locally to be able to upload it to the case. SFDC is missing out on an tremendous opportunity here.

All - again - it is no use writing your request for being able to paste screenshots directly into your comments - since meanwhile about 7 years I think. The Salesforce team is not willing to add this feature, they categorically regret to do it, they simply ignore it in the meantime. There had been a simple workaround for this a certain time which worked well - but instead of leaving it - they even erased that one too. So it looks as if this feature will never come.
