To take a screenshot on a Chromebook, you can use the following methods:
1. **Keyboard Shortcut**:
- Press the "Ctrl" and "Show windows" keys simultaneously. The "Show windows" key is typically located in the top row of keys and looks like a rectangle with two vertical lines on the right side.
- Your Chromebook will capture the entire screen, and a notification will appear in the bottom right corner confirming that the screenshot was saved.
2. **Partial Screenshot Keyboard Shortcut**:
- Press the "Ctrl," "Shift," and "Show windows" keys simultaneously.
- Your cursor will change to a crosshair.
- Click and drag to select the portion of the screen you want to capture.
- Release the mouse button to capture the selected area, and a notification will appear confirming that the screenshot was saved.
3. **Using the Power and Volume Down Buttons (Tablet Mode)**:
- If you're using a Chromebook in tablet mode, you can take a screenshot by pressing the "Power" and "Volume Down" buttons simultaneously.
- Your Chromebook will capture the entire screen, and a notification will appear confirming that the screenshot was saved.
Once you've taken a screenshot, you can view it by clicking on the notification that appears in the bottom right corner of the screen. Screenshots are automatically saved in the "Downloads" folder of your Chromebook's local storage. You can also access them by opening the Files app and navigating to the "Downloads" folder.
