Step-by-Step Guide to Taking a Screenshot on a Dell Chromebook
Taking a screenshot on a Dell Chromebook is an easy process that can be completed in just a few steps. This guide will walk you through the process of capturing and saving your screenshots.
Step 1: Prepare the Screen for Capture. Before taking your screenshot, make sure that the screen displays exactly what you want to capture. If necessary, adjust any open windows or menus so that they are visible in the screenshot.
Step 2: Activate Screenshot Mode. To take a screenshot on your Dell Chromebook, press and hold down both the “Ctrl” and “Window Switcher” keys at the same time for two seconds. This will activate Screenshot mode, which will allow you to capture whatever is currently displayed on your screen.
Step 3: Select Area to Capture (Optional). If desired, use your mouse or trackpad to select an area of the screen to capture instead of capturing everything currently displayed on it. To do this, click and drag over the area you want to capture while still holding down both keys from Step 2 until you have selected all desired content for inclusion in your screenshot image file.
Step 4: Release Keys & Save Screenshot Image File . Once you have selected all desired content for inclusion in your screenshot image file (or if no selection was made), release both keys from Step 2 simultaneously and wait for a notification window confirming that your screenshot has been saved successfully as an image file (.png) onto your Chromebook’s Downloads folder (or other designated folder). You can now access this image file whenever needed by opening up its location within Files app or another compatible program/app installed on your device such as Google Photos or Dropbox etc..
