YouTube has a new built-in screenshot feature you can test — here’s how
Google has a new feature — currently in beta — that helps users take screenshots on YouTube.
The feature, which apparently will soon make its way to all Chrome users, is super simple and helpful.

The feature should prove helpful when you want a screenshot of just the video frame. This should remove the hassle of doing it manually or cropping down a screenshot of your entire screen. With just a couple clicks, you'll have an image of the video in the same resolution as the video itself.
