How do I add a screenshot into a post?

[Think. Again.]

I have taken the screenshot and it lives in my device's photo gallery.

But the device (LG tablet, firefox) won't allow me to simply "copy" it and then "paste" it into the post I am writing. It would allow me to "share" the screenshot, but only using text or email or some other messaging apps.

Any suggestions?

1. You have to upload it into a photo-sharing site like Postimages

which will assign it a link that you can paste into your DU post.

I tried to search the Community Help forum using "screenshot" in the search line, but couldn't find this answer.

I appreciate your help!

5. What I do.

Take a screenshot.
Save it to disk or your photo roll.
Upload it to an image hosting site.

How to post photos to DU (Rev. June 2020)

I don't use any app that automatically shares my photos with an online site that provides a link that DU can use.

Others may, and please let us know if you do.

I'd prefer NOT to spread anything around to other sites (any more than what I have no control over, which seems to be everything lately).

I'll keep looking for a way to do it without a third party site and if I find a way, I'll share it here.

7. I might have to do some coding.

With DU, a third party site has to hold the images. DU won't, and I can understand why.

If you were "Leet" enough, you could host at home and open a tunnel (like ngrok ) but it would have to be online anytime someone viewed your post.

I have ideas. 💡
