Screenshots can be useful for a number of purposes. You can, for example, send copies of error messages to support services, show a friend your gaming screen, or record a tweet that you believe will be erased in a few minutes. Today’s laptops, including Chromebooks, all have the means to snap screenshots.
Chromebooks can be perplexing for individuals coming from another platform, especially because their keyboards differ from those seen on Macs or Windows PCs. Some keys from other computers have been removed, while others have been added. Fortunately, there are two methods for taking Chromebook screenshots: utilizing key combinations or the Quick Settings pop-up.
