How to Take a Screenshot on a Chromebook
If you’re looking to capture a moment in time on your Chromebook, there are a few different methods you can use.
1. Press and hold the “shift” key and click the “screenshot” button on the bottom right of your screen. A screenshot will be saved to your computer’s system folder.
2. Select “screen capture” from the drop-down menu when you select “upload a file.” A screenshot will be saved as an image file on your computer.
3. Hold down the “alt” (Windows) or “option” (Mac) key and click the “screenshot” button on your keyboard. This will take a screenshot of the entire screen, not just what’s currently visible.
How to Make a Copy of a Screen Shot?
There are a few ways to take a screenshot on a Chromebook. You can press the control/command key + shift + 3 to take a screenshot of the entire screen, or you can press control/command + Shift + 4 to take a screenshot of just the current window.
If you want to make a copy of the screenshot, you can right-click on the image and choose “Copy Image.”
How to Upload a Screen Shot to a Document?
Chromebooks are great for online work, but sometimes you need to take a screen shot of what you’re working on. There are a few ways to do this on a Chromebook.
The first way is to use the built-in screenshot function. To do this, open the Chrome menu (by pressing Control + Shift + 3 or by clicking the three lines in the top right corner of the browser window), and select “Screenshot.” In the “ScreenShot Options” box that opens, select “Take a full screen screenshot.” This will take a screenshot of your entire browser window, including any active websites or windows.
If you just want to capture part of your screen, you can use the “Command+Shift+3” shortcut to open the keyboard Shortcut Screen captures window. Click on the area of your screen you want to capture and then press the “Command” (Mac) or “Windows” (PC) key followed by “Shift” and then “3.” This will take a screenshot of just that part of your screen.
If you want to take multiple screenshots at once, you can open Chrome’s main menu again and click on “More tools.” From here, select “Screen Capture.” This will open up a new window where you can choose how many screenshots you’d like to take and where they should be saved. Clicking on the pencil icon next to each one will save them all in that same location.
What you need
To take a screenshot on a Chromebook, first open the Screenshot tool by pressingCtrl+Alt+Shift+3. Then drag the cursor over the area you want to capture and release the mouse button. The screenshot will be saved in your Downloads folder.
