How to Take a Screenshot on Your Mac: 4 Ways to Capture Your Screen

How to Take a Screenshot on Your Mac: 4 Ways to Capture Your Screen

By default, the Show Floating Thumbnail option is enabled, which puts a little preview thumbnail of your just-captured screenshot in the lower-right corner of your screen, similar to the screenshot procedure with iOS. Unlike on your iPhone, you can turn off this preview thumbnail on your Mac. Lastly, you can choose to show your mouse pointer in a screenshot or video.

On the right side is an Options button. It lets you choose where to save your screenshot -- Desktop, Documents, Clipboard, Mail, Messages, Preview or Other Location, and set a 5- or 10-second delay so you can line up items that might otherwise disappear when you engage your screenshot tool.

Longtime Mac screenshotters may be slow to adopt the Cmd-Shift-5 shortcut, but I find myself using it more for the ability to annotate screenshots without needing to open Preview, and quickly delete screenshots that I know immediately I messed up. The 5- and pkvgames 10-second delay options are also useful and appreciated additions.

These tips also apply to the latest Macs, such as the recently updated the 13-inch MacBook Pro with a new M2 chip, and the M2 MacBook Air. From our early hands-on testing, the same tips work in MacOS Ventura, the next operating system update, currently still in beta. 

Over the course of their fiery exchange, Kanye, 45, goaded Diddy, 52, to 'come do something illegal to me' and vowed to 'use you as an example to show the Jewish people who told you to call me that no one can threaten or influence me.' 

It retells the story of Dahmer from the perspective of his victims and explores major mistakes Wisconsin police made in handling the probe of the notorious mass murderer, who made national headlines for acts of cannibalism and necrophilia.

If you've got an older 15- or 16-inch MacBook Pro or a current 13-inch MacBook Pro, which is the very last model with the Touch Bar, you can also take a screenshot of what's currently showing on the Touch Bar. Just hit Cmd-Shift-6 to take a very wide and skinny screenshot of your Touch Bar.

'So before I can get to any other lives matter - which all lives matter, you know what I'm saying - that Black Lives Matter...

don't play with it. Don't wear the shirt, don't buy the shirt, don't play with the shirt. It's not a joke.'

The record was previously held by another violent show, 'Squid Game.' The fictional South Korean series depicts hundreds of contestants bid for a massive sum of money through horrifying versions of playground games. 

Roku is our favorite streaming system, with the most streaming app options, the simplest streaming platform interface and the best search. It also has a content-agnostic platform that doesn't push any one media streaming service provider, like Amazon Prime Video or Apple, over another. The Express 4K Plus is one of the cheapest streaming TV options with 4K HDR. (Even if your current TV doesn't support those formats, your next one probably will.) Thanks to the , this 4K Roku device is one of the least expensive ways to connect your iPhone or other Apple device to your TV. It makes a great gift for those looking to get the most out of streaming without breaking the bank. Roku Express works with popular voice assistants - Amazon Alexa, Sri or Hey Google.

Easy annotation If you embrace the Floating Thumbnail, you'll gain quick access to Markup tools to annotate your screenshot. You can swipe the Floating Thumbnail away or just let it slip away on its own and it'll be saved to the spot you last saved a screenshot. Click the Floating Thumbnail and it'll open in a Markup View preview window (but not Preview) with all of the markup tools you get in Preview.

Diddy was previously one of Kanye's only famous friends to leap to his defense, calling him a 'free thinker' and saying his message was 'misconstrued' while expressing disagreement with the White Lives Matter slogan.

I Lost My Body (2019)

This award-winning French film begins with a severed hand escaping a refrigerator in a laboratory and embarking on a Paris-wide search for the rest of its body. What an opening! With a few flashbacks and elegant animation, this strange, satisfying story delves into loss, both physical and emotional, in the most poetic of ways.

The Streaming Stick 4K offers support for , while the Express 4K Plus does not. It also lacks the wired Ethernet connection found on the Express 4K Plus. The other main difference between the two is the Streaming Stick 4K's narrow rectangular design, which plugs directly into an HDMI slot in the back of the TV. Both streamers offer a voice remote, 4K HDR streaming and Roku's excellent interface, which we like  or . We're typically not sold on the Dolby Vision upgrade, mostly because we don't think it provides a major image quality upgrade over standard HDR. But we do think it's worth picking up the Streaming Stick 4K when the price is the same or cheaper than the Express 4K Plus.
