You may have heard that the Live Feeds will only be viewable from a web browser for BB12. This means no more real player or BBViewer to watch the Big Brother Live Feeds. A lot of you Big Brother Fanatics used the built in screen capture functionality in BBViwer to cap and share pictures from the Live Feeds.
Since this is no longer an option, I came up with this tutorial to show you an easy way to do screen captures of the Big Brother feeds and share the caps on Twitter or your favorite forum.
For the purpose this tutorial I used Firefox, since a majority of my blog subscribers use it. But this add-on is available for Internet Explorer and Chrome as well.
Step 1 – Install
Install the appropriate LightShot add-on for you browser type. Get it here. You will need to restart your browser so you may want to bookmark this page.
Step 2 – View Feeds
Go to the live feed page and bring up your favorite camera angle:
http://superpass.real.com/big-brother/live-feeds
If you do not have the Big Brother 12 Live Feeds, try them free here.
Step 3 – Locate “LighShot Button”
You should now see a “feather pen” in on your browser near the search bar or on the bottom right of your browser window. This is what you will click when you see something on the Live Feeds you want to capture.
Step 4 – Capture
Click the “Feather Pen” to capture the House Guests in action.
Step 5 – Select Region to Capture
Use your mouse pointer click, hold and drag over the video portion you want to capture, then release to complete the screen cap.
Step 6 – Save or Share It
You can now chose to Edit, Upload to Imagshack, Share on Twitter, or Save your capture right to your computer . What I really like is that you can send your BB12 picture directly to twitter and share with me at @ihatebigbrother

That was really great of you to offer us the tutorial. Thank you so much. I Really enjoy your site!
Boy oh boy! Can’t believe it’s finally here, huh?
@Janet .. Glad I could help you out.
I am very excited to get the show started!
You could also just get bblite and there’s a capture button on the viewer, just automatically saves to a file. It’s almost too easy.
