A screenshot, also called screen capture or screen grab, is an image taken by a computer or mobile device that shows the content currently displayed on its screen. This can include text, images, and other information. Screenshots can be used for a variety of purposes, such as troubleshooting, documenting software bugs, or sharing information from a website or application. They can be taken using built-in tools or third-party software.
There are a few different ways to take a screenshot on a laptop, depending on the operating system you are using.
