How to take a screenshot?
If a member of our Customer Experience team requests a screenshot, you may be able to paste the image directly into the body of the email reply.
For Windows (desktop)
- Press ‘PrtScn’ on your keyboard to capture the entire screen
- The screenshot will be copied to an invisible clipboard
- Open a new Word document or Paint and press and hold ‘Ctrl and V’ to paste the screenshot. You can then save the screenshot to your desktop
- If you only wish to capture one Window on your screen, press and hold ‘Alt’ and ‘PrtScn’
- Alternatively, you can use the Snipping Tool program on your Windows computer. Open the program and click “New” in the program window. Then click (and hold) and drag your mouse cursor over the area of the screen you would like to capture. When you have finished, release the click - the screenshots will be saved to your desktop.
- To capture the entire screen - Hold down ‘command, shift and 3’ on your keyboard
- To capture only a selection of your screen – Hold down ‘‘command, shift and 4’ and then click (do not release your finger from the mouse) and drag the cursor over the area you would like to capture. Release the click and this will capture the screenshot
