While this isn\u2019t usually a problem in Windows 11 (it used to be the case that menus would often disappear when you move your mouse away while taking a screenshot) you never know when you might need it. You have the option to set a delay for 3, 5, or 10 seconds.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>For quick and easy captures<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span>Let\u2019s say you just want to quickly save an image of your screen but don\u2019t want to deal with the selection and saving process. Perhaps you\u2019re doing time-sensitive work and can\u2019t afford such distractions, or you need to capture multiple images in quick succession. You can always crop and edit the images later, after all.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>In this case, <\/span><b>Win+PrtScn<\/b><span> is the shortcut for you. Pressing that button com will simply capture everything on your monitor(s) and automatically save an image in your <\/span><i><span>Pictures &gt; Screenshots<\/span><\/i><span> folder.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Some keyboards may not have a PrtScn button, or the button might play double duty with another function. No problem: just press <\/span><b>Fn+Win+Spacebar<\/b><span> instead for identical functionality. I actually use this shortcut more often on my laptop, as it\u2019s easy to reach with my left hand.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>If you only need to copy everything that\u2019s on your screen <\/span><i><span>without<\/span><\/i><span> automatically saving it \u2014 well, that\u2019s exactly what the <strong>PrtScn<\/strong> button was born to do when used without any additional keys.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>How to record a video of your screen<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span>What if you need to capture a <\/span><i><span>video<\/span><\/i><span> of content on your screen? Luckily Windows has a built-in tool for this as well. While it\u2019s aimed at capturing game clips and can only handle one app at a time, the Windows&nbsp;Game Bar is the easiest way to capture video&nbsp;using built-in&nbsp;tools.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>To start recording immediately, simply press <\/span><b>Win+Alt+R<\/b><span>. By default, this will begin to capture video and audio for whatever your active application is.
