How to Capture and Share Window Screenshots on Your Google Chromebook
Taking screenshots on a Google Chromebook is an easy and efficient way to capture and share images of your screen. Whether you need to capture a website, document, or other image for work or school, this guide will show you how to quickly take and share screenshots on your Chromebook.
Step 1: Taking the Screenshot
To take a screenshot of your entire screen, press the “Ctrl” + “Window Switcher” keys at the same time. Your screen will briefly dim as the screenshot is taken. The screenshot will be saved in your Downloads folder as a PNG file with the date and time it was taken in its name.
If you only want to capture part of your screen, press “Ctrl” + “Shift” + “Window Switcher” keys at once instead. Your cursor will turn into a crosshair that you can use to select which area of the screen you want to capture by clicking and dragging it over that area. When you release the mouse button, your selection will be captured as an image in PNG format in your Downloads folder with its date and time included in its name.
Step 2: Sharing Your Screenshot
Once you have taken a screenshot on your Chromebook, there are several ways that you can share it with others quickly and easily. You can attach it directly from within Gmail by clicking on “Attach Files” when composing an email message; simply select “Downloads” from the list of options presented when prompted for where to find files stored on your device, then choose which file(s) from there that you would like to attach before sending off your message!
