Hi, QGIS has an automated (but unfortunately broken, at least with my configs) tool to generate screenshots. It was a first draft that would have needed more improvements but we couldn't spend enough time on it. running *qgis --take-screenshots directory* in a console would run QGIS and export a bunch of screenshots to directory. I don't really know the internals (code is https://github.com/qgis/QGIS/blob/861c5115ebd9533864cd4e9338ea1e35014ef0cd/src/app/qgsappscreenshots.cpp) nor how configurable it's but extending it to Python would be good. It could solve QGIS screenshot issues but still remain other OsgeoLive projects.
I created reports in QGIS issue tracker ( https://github.com/qgis/QGIS/issues/30326 and https://github.com/qgis/QGIS/issues/30327) and let's hope it gets fixed for the deadline we have.
