How is that done ?

  VLC has the option to “Take Snapshot” and it can play online media. This is unless I'm missing something very obvious!

      My bad; I'm sorry for jumping into conclusions.

      VLC runs on mobile devices: https://www.videolan.org/vlc/download-android.html https://www.videolan.org/vlc/download-android.html

        It’s nowhere near as powerful though, and I don’t think it can do this particular task.

          It is a full port of VLC so it should be able to handle this task. You're probably referring to the frontend which differs from the ones used on desktop but that does not mean the functionality is not available. It is, you just access it differently. Either enable the 'Take a screenshot' option (Controls Settings -> Take a screenshot) and use that or send an intent to do so. The former works while watching videos, the latter makes it possible to automate this task from within termux, Tasker or Automagic. You can also just install vlc in termux and use the command line interface: ~ $ apt search vlc Sorting... Done Full Text Search...
