Can the taking of snapshots be detected?

With the Quiet Snapshots to disk option deselected in the Client Menu the taking of a snapshot can be heard by avis near to the snapper, and you often see their hands rise to their cheeks. Can this be detected in any way? And if they do have Quiet snapshots to disk selected is there anything that could be done to detect if a snapshot is being taken?

TIA

Detected by script, not really, only possibility I can think of is monitoring the current animations played and flagging when the raise hands to face animation takes place. A very short animation it is though and I don't think you can monitor anyone else for animations without permissions.

As for quiet snapshot, no way to detect.

And if you could and someone wanted a way around it they would just take a screen shot of their desktop..... nothing you can do to detect or stop that at all.
