How to Take a Screenshot in Unity and Display It on a UI Image
Greetings, in this Unity tutorial we shall be looking at how to take a screenshot and how to display that screenshot on a Unity ui image. This taking screenshot and showing it on a ui image will also work with a sprite or on any 3D object.
We can use the ScreenCapture.CaptureScreenshotAstexture function to take a screenshot of our game and store it in a Texture 2D. But before we do that we will wate for the current frame to finish, so all rendering for that frame has been done before we take the screenshot.
After that we are going to create a new texture 2d and we are going to transfer the screenshot data over to this new unity 2d texture. But why are we doing this. Well if you don't, your screenshot might appear off-aligned and a bit milky. What we do here fixes the issue so your screen capture looks identical to what you are taking a screen capture of.
After that we create a new sprite from our 2D texture and apply this sprite to a UI image. And voila, you have taken a screenshot of your game and displayed it on a UI image in your Unity game.
