Questions tagged [screenshot]

For questions related to screenshots.

Most modern IT platforms allow the taking of screenshots, also called "screen grabs," which are "internal pictures" taken of the screen by the computer itself. This allows third-party troubleshooters to see error messages without relying on the end user to relay them completely or accurately. This also saves the end user of taking a picture of the screen with a camera, which often leads to flash glare and fuzzy pictures.
