How to Capture and Share Screenshots on Your Dell Chromebook
Taking screenshots on a Dell Chromebook is a simple and straightforward process. With just a few clicks, you can capture and share images of your screen with others. Here’s how to do it:
1. To take a screenshot of the entire screen, press the “Ctrl” and “Window Switcher” keys at the same time. The Window Switcher key is located in the top row of your keyboard, between the full-screen and brightness buttons.
2. Your screenshot will be saved to your Downloads folder as an image file with a .png extension (e.g., Screenshot_2020-01-01).
3. To take a partial screenshot, press “Ctrl” + “Shift” + “Window Switcher” keys at once instead of just pressing two keys together like before. This will open up an area selection tool that you can use to select which part of your screen you want to capture in an image file format (.png).
4. Once you have taken your screenshot(s), you can easily share them with others by uploading them to Google Drive or other cloud storage services such as Dropbox or OneDrive for easy access from any device connected to the internet or by sending them via email or messaging apps such as WhatsApp or Facebook Messenger directly from within Chrome OS itself without having to leave the browser window open all day long!
5. You can also print out screenshots directly from Chrome OS if needed by selecting Print from within any application that supports printing (e.g., Google Docs).
With these steps, capturing and sharing screenshots on your Dell Chromebook should be quick and easy!
