# Creating a Frame capture output group
<a name="opg-framecapture"></a>

When you create a AWS Elemental MediaLive channel, you might want to include a Frame capture output group. A Frame capture output is a supplement to streaming; it isn't itself a streaming output. This type of output might be useful for your workflow. For example, you might use a Frame capture output to create thumbnails of the content. (You can also create thumbnails by using the [thumbnails feature](thumbnails.md).)
