I'm trying to record screen when playing a website by using mss and opencv, but I don't want the program to use the current screen. I want to put them to play on a second desktop, like Desktop 2 in the following picture macos have 4 desktop setup
so I can work in the desktop 1 without any interruption.
Click the Capture button or press Ctrl-Shift-C. Then, click and drag the crosshairs to select part or all of your screen. Can I turn screen captures into a video?
Copy only the image of the active window Click the window that you want to copy. Press ALT+PRINT SCREEN. Paste (CTRL+V) the image into an Office program or other application.
To capture your entire screen and automatically save the screenshot, tap the Windows key + Print Screen key. Your screen will briefly go dim to indicate that you've just taken a screenshot, and the screenshot will be saved to the Pictures > Screenshots folder.
The easiest way to take a screenshot on Windows 10 or Windows 11 is with the Print Screen (PrtScn) key. To capture your entire screen, simply press PrtScn on the upper-right side of your keyboard.
We'll show you a quick keyboard shortcut that takes a screenshot of just the active window on your Windows PC or Mac. Use a keyboard shortcut on Windows 7. To snap the window you want, you should keep it on the top of other tasks, and then press "Alt+PrtSc". The image of this window will be saved to the clipboard.
Here are 5 ways you can use to take screenshots in Windows 10 without installing third party app. 1. Using Print Screen key Take a look at your computer keyboard right now and you should see a Print Screen key.

Currently, MSS does not support capturing inactive workspaces.
This Ask Ubuntu answer indicates (referencing a post on an "archived" (i.e. apparently deleted) forum) that this is not normally possible in the X Window System.1 The answer discusses using Xvfb as a workaround, but this does not appear to be useful for screen-capture software, as it is essentially a way to run the application on a virtual display, which can then be captured normally.
If taking a screenshot of an inactive space is possible on macOS (which I consider unlikely for the same reasons as on X), you would likely need to use non-API functions from CoreGraphics (as there was no public API for spaces as of 2016). This GitHub repository documents those functions, though the repository was last updated in 2016, so it may not be as helpful as you would like.
Another option, which may be the least OS-dependent, is to run a headless virtual machine and take screenshots of that. How well this works will depend on the virtual machine manager and the virtual machine itself, as well as how you are taking the screenshots.
1 Basically because the inactive desktops are not rendered.
