ScreenShot on CB

Sometimes, you just need to show someone else the thing that's on your screen. In this case, taking a screenshot is the easiest thing to do.

There are a few different ways to take screenshots on a Chromebook, so let's run through all of them right now!

How to take a screenshot with buttons

In most cases, the easiest way to take a screenshot on your Chromebook is by using button combinations — whether that be on your Chromebook's keyboard or with the power and volume buttons.

Starting first with keyboard shortcuts, there are two you'll want to remember:

• Ctrl + []]] to take a screenshot of the entire screen.
• Ctrl + Shift + []]] to take a screenshot of a specific portion of your screen.

For the second command, you'll use your mouse/cursor to select the area of your screen you want to capture. For those times when there's just a small part of your screen you want to save, it's quite handy.
