<title>Screenshots and screencasts</title>
25
<p>You can take a picture of your screen (a <em>screenshot</em>) or record a video of what's happening on the screen (a <em>screencast</em>). This is useful if you want to show someone how to do something on the computer, for example; screenshots and screencasts are just normal picture/video files, so you can email them and share them on the web.</p>

<p>To take a picture of what's on your screen:</p>
32
<p>Go to the <gui>Activities</gui> overview and open the <app>Screenshot</app> tool.</p>
36
<p>In the window that appears, choose what to take a picture of.</p>
37
<p>You can take a picture of the whole of the screen (<gui>Grab the whole desktop</gui>), just the window that you're currently using (<gui>Grab the current window</gui>), or you can select an area of the screen by dragging a box around it (<gui>Select the area to grab</gui>).</p>
41
Click <gui>Take Screenshot</gui>.
44
If you selected <gui>Select area to grab</gui>, the cursor will change into a cross. Click and drag the area you want for the screenshot.

The <gui>Save Screenshot</gui> window will now appear. Choose where to save the screenshot and click <gui>Save</gui>.</p>

You can also drag and drop the image of the screenshot into another application, to paste

it there, or to the <app>files</app> to save it there in a folder.</p></note>
