# Why does Skykit Control say it will capture everything on my screen?

If you are using a device that does not use Skykit firmware—such as an older SKP3, an SKD10, or a device from partners such as Philips, Sony, or Hisense—the first time you take a screenshot you will see a message telling you that "Skykit Control will start capturing everything that's displayed on your screen."

This does not mean Skykit is monitoring your content; screenshots are always and only initiated by the user. Your content and data are safe. Skykit Control only captures a screenshot of the content that is playing at that moment, and screenshots can only be initiated by the user.

Using the Skykit device's remote or a USB mouse or keyboard, check the **Don't Show Again** box and select **Start Now** to accept the notification and take the screenshot. You will only see this notification the first time you take a screenshot.

If Skykit firmware is on the device (for instance, on a recently shipped SKP3 or SKP Pro), you will be able to take screenshots without having to accept this certification prompt.
