Here's how to take a screenshot on your Mac.
We'll show you how to take a screenshot
using keyboard shortcuts
and how to use the Screenshot toolbar
with macOS Mojave or later.
Let's take a look at the different keyboard shortcuts
you can use.
First, we'll take a screenshot of the entire screen.
Just press Shift-Command-3.
When you take a screenshot,
it appears as a thumbnail
in the bottom right corner of your screen.
If you leave it there,
it will automatically save to your desktop by default.
If you want to take a screenshot
of a portion of your screen,
press Shift-Command-4.
This will turn your pointer into a crosshair.
Move it to where you want to start the screenshot,
click and drag to select an area,
and release your trackpad or mouse.
You can press the Escape key to cancel
before releasing your trackpad or mouse
if you've changed your mind.
Now let's take a screenshot of a window.
To do this, press Shift-Command-4
and then the spacebar.
This will change the pointer to a camera.
Move the camera over to the window or menu
you want to capture and look for the highlight
to confirm that it's selected.
Then click your trackpad or mouse to take the screenshot.
Your screenshots will be saved to your desktop.
If you also hold Control as you use these shortcuts,
they'll save to your clipboard instead.
You can also use the Screenshot toolbar
in addition to keyboard shortcuts.
The Screenshot toolbar is useful for things
like recording your screen
and changing your screenshot settings.
To open it, press Shift-Command-5.
By default, the tools will appear
at the bottom of the screen,
but you can move them around if you like.

on the left-hand side.

a single window, or a portion of the screen.
