Introduction: What is a screenshot and why would you want to take one on your laptop?
There are two ways to take a screenshot on your laptop. The first is to press the power button while the camera is running (sometimes called “powercam”). The second way is to hold down the power button and then click in the empty space of your screen.
Both of these methods are very simple, but both are risky. Once you have taken a screenshot, you have essentially overwritten the contents of your laptop. If you have an issue with this, you can use our online tutorial about how to restore Windows from a backup image. (Note: If you have not backed up your laptop, we do not recommend taking a screenshot of it.)
In addition to taking screenshots, you can also take a picture from your camera. Just click on the camera icon and slide it into an empty space on the screen; this will let us capture video as well as pictures without having to hold down any buttons or touch anything.
How to take screenshot in window 7
If you wanted to take a screenshot of the desktop in Windows 7, you would right-click on the desktop and select “Screenshot”. If you want to take a screenshot of just one window, you would click on the window with the “Start” button highlighted and then select “Screen Capture”.
This is all very intuitive and is so common that it seems like one of those things that should be obvious, but sometimes it isn’t.
This is also a surprisingly common misstep among developers and end users alike: many of them don’t even realize they can do this (and it isn’t something that should be taken for granted). This is simply not how a Windows application works, so even if you are running Microsoft Office and have installed some sort of third party add-in to do the same thing (it doesn’t even have to be supported by Microsoft), why would you ever use what Windows does instead?
The best way I have yet discovered to avoid this trap is to always start from scratch using an application by itself. But that means spending time learning how an application works rather than just getting out of the way, which can be both time consuming as well as difficult. You may not need any special software for this, but I have found that it does help when I am working with a team or communicating with customers who aren’t used to what I am doing (e.g., let me show them how I take screen shots in Windows 7 instead of dictating into a text editor). Some people naturally want shortcuts, but sometimes I prefer to go through the trouble of learning how something works first before making assumptions about how it should work (or vice versa).

How to take screenshot in Macbook and Ipad
I recently wrote about how to take a screenshot on Mac and iPad. There are many ways to do so, but the most common way is to hold down the power button and click/tap on the screen while holding [Shift] and [Control] keys. This will take you directly to the screenshot window, if it is not already in one

Below, I’ll go into some of the finer details that make this method popular among Mac users, such as what key combinations should be used, etc.
The same command can be done on Google Chrome or Microsoft Edge with a little more effort (and I’ll explain this later!).
