So sometimes I do a Facebook video chat with a friend and I'm wondering is there a way I can use my web camera to take a photo of me and my friend during the chat? Thank you 2001:569:7D9F:EA00:35BC:29A6:320E:2C1D (talk) 2001:569:7D9F:EA00:35BC:29A6:320E:2C1D (talk) 17:56, 6 September 2023 (UTC)
Shift+PrintScreen
(or PrtScr
), which will copy the entire current screen (NB if you happen to be using two monitors, it will copy them both). Press the Windows
key and enter mspaint
. Microsoft Paint will open (or fire up your favourite image editing app eg PaintShop). Press Ctrl+V
(or click the Paste icon), edit to your requirements and save as e.g. a .bmp file. Done. NB You will have do this each time you want another screenshot, the technique can't make multiple copies - i.e only the last keypress will be copied to the clipboard.

Shift+Command+3
to grab the entire screen, or Shift+Command+4
to select a portion of the screen with the crosshairs. Screenshots will be automatically saved to your desktop with the name Screen Shot [date] at [time].png.
In macOS Mojave or later, you can change the default location of saved screenshots/recordings from the Options menu in the Screenshot app (Shift+Command+5
).[1] MinorProphet (talk) 09:39, 7 September 2023 (UTC)
PrtSc
grabs the entire screen, Alt+PrtSc
grabs the current window, and Shift+PrtSc
allows you to select a portion of the screen. This should automagically save the screenshot in the your Images folder. Gnome has a Screenshot utility. MinorProphet (talk) 09:47, 7 September 2023 (UTC)
