Prevent Sound When Capturing or Exporting to Clipboard

How do I to disable the Windows sound when Greenshot captures an image. 'Play camera sound' under 'Capture' is off. I must mute my speaker.

1That's not supposed to happen. Perhaps you could uninstall it and re-install? – harrymc – 2019-11-20T16:29:04.533

Not specified at https://getgreenshot.org/help/ nor in their FAQ. Suggest you ask them my entering a query at https://greenshot.atlassian.net/projects/SUPPORT/issues/?filter=allissues&orderby=priority%20DESC

I agree, this should not happen, and I have not heard a similar complaint so far while most users keep this turned off. Are you sure it's actually Greenshot triggering that sound and not some other utility listening to the PrintScreen key, like e.g. OneNote, Dropbox, etc? You could try to shut down GS completely (right click on icon - > exit) and see if it still happens. – jklingen – 2019-11-21T06:44:22.137

Btw, I am sure that greenshot has never played a sound when exporting to clipboard, what kind of sound is it you hear? The only sound Greenshot ever made was a camera click right after capture, it is turned off by the setting you mentioned, off by default. – jklingen – 2019-11-21T17:20:11.927
