How to take screenshots on your Windows/MacOS based laptop with ease
Here’s what you need to know about capturing screenshots on your desktop
- The simplest way to take a screenshot in a Windows laptop is to use the Print Screen button on your keyboard. The button is placed on the upper-right side of most keyboards.
- Simply tap it once and Windows would automatically copy an image of your entire screen to the clipboard.
- Just paste that into Paint, Word, or an image-editing program and save the screenshot.
- Simply press Command+Shift+5, or navigate to Launchpad > Other > Screenshot to capture an image.
- Users can also capture a screen shot by pressing Command+Shift+3 to capture the entire screen.
- Pressing Command+Shift+4 will turn the cursor into a crosshair which will allow you to select the section of the screen you want to capture.
- To capture a specific window, Mac users can use Command+Shift+5, then press the space bar to switch between capturing a section of the screen and a specific window.
- If you own a MacBook with a Touch Bar, then you can take a screen shot by pressing Command+Shift+6.
