Taking screenshots programmatically in a Unity application allows you to capture the current state of the game or application.

• Write a script to cature screenshot and call a method "WEBARSDK.TakeScreenshot(returnBuffer)"

• "returnBuffer" is a boolean value if returnBuffer->false a preview UI with download button is displayed on the screen.

• and if "returnBuffer" is true the "WEBARSDK.TakeScreenshot" method converts the screenshot image data in binary format and to access this data user needs to call a method "WEBARSDK.GetScreenshotTexture" after some delay.

• "WEBARSDK.GetScreenshotTexture" will return a image data in base64 string format, using this string user can convert or use it anywhere according to the use case.
