Add screenshots and images while a Live Session is recording to preserve the visual context behind the conversation. Chief places each image at the current point in the transcript, so teammates and AI agents can see what you were discussing. Chief Live Sessions - adding a screenshot to the transcript

​
Take a screenshot

  1. Start a Live Session in the Chief Live Sessions App.
  2. Click the Add a screenshot, image, or sketch to the transcript image button in the session controls.
  3. Click Take screenshot.
  4. Select what you want to capture, add any marks in the visual editor, then click Add to session.
Chief adds the screenshot after the latest transcript passage. Press Esc while selecting an area if you want to cancel.

​
Mark up a screenshot or image

Every screenshot or image opens in the visual editor before it is added. Use Take screenshot or Upload image, add any marks, then click Add to session. The global Screenshot straight to transcript shortcut is the exception and skips the editor. You can also choose New sketch when you want to explain an idea on a blank canvas instead of capturing your screen.

​
Upload, paste, or drag an image

Use any of these paths during the session:
  • Click the image button, then click Upload image and choose one or more files.
  • Copy an image, click inside the Transcript panel, and paste it. The visual editor opens before the image is added.
  • Drag a file onto the Transcript panel and drop it when Drop a file to add it here appears.
The transcript footer also offers Add: Screenshot, File, Text, and Canvas. Text opens a Text to add to the transcript field for a snippet, link, or list. Documents added through File go into the Project Library and can be up to 25 MB. Chief accepts PNG, JPEG, WebP, and GIF files up to 10 MB each. Images are visible to people who join or watch the Live Session and are included when you send the session to an AI agent.
Important: The host, Project editors, and people with a Collaborator session link can add or remove items while the Live Session is active. Collaborators can add images, but only a Project member can add documents to the Library. An ended session can be resumed if you need to continue recording.

​
Remove an image

Find the image in the transcript and click Remove from session before the Live Session ends. If Chief cannot remove it, the app shows Could not remove that from the session. Please try again. Images also offer View full size, copy, and download controls.

​
FAQ

Images can only be added during an active Live Session. Start a new session if you need to capture more visual context, or upload an existing transcript if your source is transcript text rather than an image.
Confirm the file is a PNG, JPEG, WebP, or GIF and no larger than 10 MB. Other formats show Only PNG, JPEG, WebP, and GIF images can be added to the transcript.
Chief anchors it at the current transcript tail, after the latest finalized passage. Adding an image also returns the transcript to the newest content if you had scrolled upward.
