 Captures a snapshot of the page within `rect`. Omitting `rect` will capture the whole visible page.
 
+#### `contents.isBeingCaptured()`
+
+Returns `Boolean` - Whether this page is being captured. It returns true when the capturer count
+is large then 0.
+
+#### `contents.incrementCapturerCount([size, stayHidden])`
+
+* `size` [Size](structures/size.md) (optional) - The perferred size for the capturer.
+* `stayHidden` Boolean (optional) -  Keep the page hidden instead of visible.
+
+Increase the capturer count by one. The page is considered visible when its browser window is
+hidden and the capturer count is non-zero. If you would like the page to stay hidden, you should ensure that `stayHidden` is set to true.
+
+This also affects the Page Visibility API.
+
+#### `contents.decrementCapturerCount([stayHidden])`
+
+* `stayHidden` Boolean (optional) -  Keep the page in hidden state instead of visible.
+
+Decrease the capturer count by one. The page will be set to hidden or occluded state when its
+browser window is hidden or occluded and the capturer count reaches zero. If you want to
+decrease the hidden capturer count instead you should set `stayHidden` to true.

 #### `contents.getPrinters()`
 
 Get the system printer list.
