# Snapshot

> Take snapshots of the current stream.

<Note>Snapshotting is currently only supported for MJPEG streams.</Note>

While a card has an **MJPEG** stream running, <Icon icon="camera" color="#46bae7" /> **Snapshot** appears on the card. It has 2 modes — the icon tells you which one is active.

## Snapshot modes

<Columns cols={2}>
  <Card title="Single" icon="camera" color="#46bae7">
    Each click captures what is currently being streamed **once**.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Interval" icon="camera-rotate" color="#46bae7">
    Clicking starts capturing frames at the interval you set. Click it again to stop.
  </Card>
</Columns>

## Changing the mode

The default mode for every card is set in the [Default Card Options settings](/discovery/global-settings/default-card-settings#snapshotting).

To set a different mode for a single card, **long press** the <Icon icon="camera" color="#46bae7" /> **Snapshot** button to open that card's snapshot config, then select **Single**, or select **Interval** and set the number of seconds between snapshots.
