Step-by-Step Guide to Taking a Screenshot on Your Chromebook
Taking a screenshot on your Chromebook is a simple process that can be done in just a few steps.
1. To begin, press the Ctrl and Window Switcher keys at the same time. This will capture an image of your entire screen and save it to your Downloads folder.
2. If you would like to take a screenshot of only part of the screen, press Ctrl, Shift, and Window Switcher at the same time instead. Your cursor will then turn into a crosshair; click and drag it across the area you want to capture in order to select it. When you release your mouse button, this selection will be saved as an image in your Downloads folder.
3. You can also take screenshots using keyboard shortcuts: pressing Ctrl + Show windows (F5) captures an image of your entire screen while pressing Ctrl + Shift + Show windows (F5) captures only part of the screen as described above in step 2.
4. Once you have taken a screenshot, open up Files from either the Launcher or Shelf on your Chromebook’s desktop; this is where all downloaded files are stored by default including screenshots taken with these methods described above! From here you can view or edit them as needed before sharing them with others or saving them for later use!
