A screenshot is a digital image of what is currently being displayed on your Chromebook's screen. You can take a screenshot on a Chromebook to save important information, to share with others, or to use as reference. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to take a screenshot on a Chromebook:
Full Screen Screenshot:
To take a screenshot of the entire screen, press the "Ctrl + Show windows" keys on your Chromebook's keyboard.
The screenshot will be automatically saved to the "Downloads" folder.
To access the screenshot, click on the "Files" app in your Chromebook's app drawer and then click on the "Downloads" folder.
You can also view the screenshot by right-clicking on the desktop and selecting "Files."
Partial Screenshot:
To take a screenshot of a portion of the screen, press "Ctrl + Shift + Show windows".
Your cursor will change into a crosshair.
Click and drag the crosshair to select the area of the screen you want to capture.
The screenshot will be automatically saved to the "Downloads" folder.
Screenshot with Stylus:
If your Chromebook has a stylus, you can also use it to take a screenshot.
To do this, press the "Stylus button" and the "Ctrl + Show windows" keys at the same time.
This will capture a screenshot of the entire screen.
Once you have taken the screenshot, you can open it in an image editing app to crop, annotate, or make other changes. You can also share the screenshot directly from the "Files" app or attach it to an email or message.
In conclusion, taking a screenshot on a Chromebook is a simple and straightforward process. Whether you want to capture the entire screen or just a portion of it, you can do so with just a few keystrokes or a stylus button press. The screenshot will be automatically saved to the "Downloads" folder for easy access and sharing.
