Screenshots are quite handy because it

00:00:04

is simple to use and very convenient

00:00:07

for sharing elements of your screen.

00:00:09

But there are few tricks

00:00:10

that can save you time.

00:00:12

Of course, you can easily use the print

00:00:14

screen button on the keyboard that

00:00:16

will take your picture of your desktop.

00:00:18

To see and save this image,

00:00:20

you must paste it into another

00:00:22

app like paint.

00:00:23

However, this process produces some issue.

00:00:25

For example, if you are working

00:00:27

with two screens and you only want

00:00:29

a precise element on your desktop,

00:00:31

using Printscreen will not really do the job.

00:00:35

There is a feature called Snipping tool,

00:00:37

way more convenient.

00:00:38

You can find it on all windows

00:00:41

in the Start menu.

00:00:42

Consider pinning it to the taskbar if

00:00:44

it's something you can use regularly.

00:00:47

This tool includes several modes

00:00:49

and will present the result

00:00:51

directly in this application.

00:00:55

With Windows 11, this tool is

00:00:57

granting new features and new design.

00:00:59

The rectangle mode is the default option,

00:01:01

letting you select in a square

00:01:03

shape the element you want to save.

00:01:05

Find out the mods listed

00:01:07

right next to the new button.

00:01:12

The window mode allows you to

00:01:13

make a capture in one click

00:01:15

directly on the desired window.

00:01:20

Full Screen mode launches immediately

00:01:22

a screenshot once you have

00:01:23

selected that mode, so be careful.

00:01:26

Free from Modest Mouse drawn selection.

00:01:33

You can also delay your screenshot.

00:01:35

In the delay section

00:01:37

select the timer you want.

00:01:39

It can be now 035 or 10 seconds.

00:01:43

Moreover, you can notice some editing

00:01:45

tools to overwrite or reshape the image.

00:01:48

Finally, once you're done,

00:01:50

you can save it by clicking the save

00:01:54

button or the shortcut control.

00:01:57

The snipping tool can save you a lot of

00:01:59

time and it's a must known app on Windows.
